Abstract

For a graph $$G=(V,E)$$ G = ( V , E ) , a vertex set $$C\subseteq V$$ C ⊆ V is an m-fold outer-connected dominating set (m-fold OCDS) of G if every vertex in $$V\backslash C$$ V \ C has at least m neighbors in C and the subgraph of G induced by $$V\backslash C$$ V \ C is connected. In this paper, we present a greedy algorithm to compute an m-fold OCDS in general graphs, which returns a solution of size at most $$\alpha +1+\ln (\Delta +m+1)$$ α + 1 + ln ( Δ + m + 1 ) times that of a minimum m-fold OCDS, where $$\Delta $$ Δ is the maximum degree of the graph and $$\alpha $$ α is a positive number at most $$\Delta $$ Δ +m+1.
