Abstract

In this note the split domination number of the Cartesian product of two paths is considered. Our results are related to [2] where the domination number of Pₘ ☐ Pₙ was studied. The split domination number of P₂ ☐ Pₙ is calculated, and we give good estimates for the split domination number of Pₘ ☐ Pₙ expressed in terms of its domination number.

Keywords
