A dominating set D of a graph is a vertex subset such that every unselected vertex has a neighbour in D. Equivalently every vertex lies in D or is adjacent to an element of D. This condition differs from vertex cover, which requires every edge to have an endpoint in the selected set.

In graph theory, a **dominating set** for a graph \( G = (V, E) \) is a subset \( D \subseteq V \) of the vertices such that every vertex not in \( D \) is adjacent to at least one vertex in \( D \).
