Abstract

In this paper, we present explicit formulas for domination numbers of equidistant \(m\)-cactus chains and find the corresponding minimum dominating sets. For an arbitrary \(m\)-cactus chain, we establish the lower and upper bounds for its domination number. We find some extremal chains with respect to this graph invariant.
