12 Introduction Definition of power domination A graph problem with simpler rules Only take care of vertices (edges follow...) 1st step = domination : a vertex with a PMU monitors its closed neighbourhood 2nd step = propagation : if a monitored vertex has a single neighbour not monitored, it gets monitored. The minimum number of PMU that (eventually) monitors the whole graph = Power domination number : γ P (G)
