Abstract

Recently, Azarija et al. (Electron J Combin:1.19, 2017) considered the prism G□ K2 of a graph G and showed that γt(G□ K2) = 2 γ(G) if G is bipartite, where γt(G) and γ(G) are the total domination number and the domination number of G. In this note, we give a simple proof and observe that there are similar results for other pairs of parameters. We also answer a question from that paper and show that for all graphs γt(G□K2)≥43γ(G), and this bound is tight.
