Description
Summary:For any (finite simple) graph the secure domination number of satisfies . Here we find a secure-dominating set in such that in all cases when is a grid, and in the majority of cases when is a cylindrical or toroidal grid. In all such cases, satisfies the additional requirement that is connected. We make note that the concept of secure-dominating sets considered in this paper is quite different from the other secure domination currently of interest.
