For a graph G = ( V , E ) , the γ -graph of G, denoted G ( γ ) = ( V ( γ ) , E ( γ ) ) , is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or γ -sets of G, and two γ -sets are adjacent in G ( γ ) if they differ by a single vertex and the two different vertices are adjacent in G. In this paper, we consider γ -graphs of trees. We develop an algorithm for determining the γ -graph of a tree, characterize which trees are γ -graphs of trees, and further comment on the structure of γ -graphs of trees and its connections with Cartesian product graphs, the set of graphs which can be obtained from the Cartesian product of graphs of order at least two.

Cartesian Product Graphs

Let ${\cal G}$ be a class of graphs. A $d$-fold grid over ${\cal G}$ is a graph obtained from a $d$-dimensional rectangular grid of vertices by placing a graph from ${\cal G}$ on each of the lines parallel to one of the axes. Thus each vertex belongs to $d$ of these subgraphs. The class of $d$-fold grids over ${\cal G}$ is denoted by ${\cal G}^d$. Let $f({\cal G};d)=\max_{G\in{\cal G}^d}\chi(G)$. If each graph in ${\cal G}$ is $k$-colorable, then $f({\cal G};d)\le k^d$. We show that this bound is best possible by proving that $f({\cal G};d)=k^d$ when ${\cal G}$ is the class of all $k$-colorable graphs. We also show that $f({\cal G};d)\ge{\left\lfloor\sqrt{{d\over 6\log d}}\right\rfloor}$ when ${\cal G}$ is the class of graphs with at most one edge, and $f({\cal G};d)\ge {\left\lfloor{d\over 6\log d}\right\rfloor}$ when ${\cal G}$ is the class of graphs with maximum degree $1$.

A dominating set $D$ for a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that any vertex not in $D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ is the size of a minimum dominating set in G. Vizing's conjecture from 1968 states that for the Cartesian product of graphs $G$ and $H$, $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \leq \gamma(G \Box H)$, and Clark and Suen (2000) proved that $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \leq 2 \gamma(G \Box H)$. In this paper, we modify the approach of Clark and Suen to prove a variety of similar bounds related to total and paired domination, and also extend these bounds to the $n$-Cartesian product of graphs $A^1$ through $A^n$.
