Abstract

The concept of power domination emerged from the problem of monitoring electrical systems. Given a graph G and a set $$S \subseteq V(G)$$ S ⊆ V ( G ) , a set M of monitored vertices is built as follows: at first, M contains only the vertices of S and their direct neighbors, and then each time a vertex in M has exactly one neighbor not in M, this neighbor is added to M. The power domination number of a graph G is the minimum size of a set S such that this process ends up with the set M containing every vertex of G. We show that the power domination number of a triangular grid $$H_k$$ H k with hexagonal-shaped border of length $$k-1$$ k - 1 is $$\left\lceil \dfrac{k}{3} \right\rceil $$ k 3 , and the one of a triangular grid $$T_k$$ T k with triangular-shaped border of length $$k-1$$ k - 1 is $$\left\lceil \dfrac{k}{4} \right\rceil $$ k 4 .
