Abstract :

In this paper properties of disjunctive domination in some graph products are studied. We examine whether disjunctive domination number is multiplicative with respect to different graph products, that is, $\gamma_2^d(G_1\ast G_2) \geq \gamma_2^d(G_1)\gamma_2^d(G_2)$ for all graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ or $\gamma_2^d(G_1\ast G_2) \leq \gamma_2^d(G_1)\gamma_2^d(G_2)$ for all graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ where $\ast$ denotes lexicographic, tensor, strong or Cartesian product of graphs. Some other inequalities involving disjunctive domination number of product graphs and the graphs attaining these inequalities are also given.
