Abstract

A connected dominating set (CDS) of a graph, G, is a set of vertices, C ⊆ V (G), such that every vertex in V (G) \ C is incident to at least one vertex of C in G and the subgraph induced by the vertices of C in G is connected. In this paper we consider a simple, yet efficient, randomised greedy algorithm for finding a small CDS of regular graphs. We analyse the average-case performance of this heuristic on random regular graphs using differential equations. In this way we prove an upper bound on the size of a minimum CDS of random regular graphs.
