Abstract

A connected dominating set in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in the subset or adjacent to a vertex in the subset and the subgraph induced by the subset is connected. A minimum-connected dominating set is such a vertex subset with minimum cardinality. An application in ad hoc wireless networks requires the study of the minimum-connected dominating set in unit-disk graphs. In this paper, we design a (1 + 1/s)-approximation for the minimum-connected dominating set in unit-disk graphs, running in time n°((s log s)2). © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
