Nordhaus-Gaddum inequalities for domination in graphs

A node in a graph G = (V,E) is said to dominate itself and all nodes adjacent to it. A set S C V is a dominating set for G if each node in V is dominated by some node in S and is a double dominating set for G if each node in V is dominated by at least two nodes in S. First we give a brief survey of Nordhaus-Gaddum results for several domination-related parameters. Then we present new inequalities of this type involving double domination. A direct result of our bounds for double domination in complementary graphs is a new Nordhaus~3addum inequality for open domination improving known bounds for the case when both G and its complement have domination number greater than 4.
