%N Triangle read by rows: Domination number for rectangular queens' graph Q(n,m), 1 <= n <= m.

%C The queens graph Q(n X m) has the squares of the n X m chessboard as its vertices; two squares are adjacent if they are both in the same row, column, or diagonal of the board. A set D of squares of Q(n X m) is a dominating set for Q(n X m) if every square of Q(n X m) is either in D or adjacent to a square in D. The minimum size of a dominating set of Q(n X m) is the domination number, denoted by gamma(Q(n X m)).

%C Less formally, gamma(Q(n X m)) is the number of queens that are necessary and sufficient to all squares of the n X m chessboard be occupied or attacked.

%C Chessboard 8 X 11 is of special interest, because it cannot be dominated by 5 queens, although the larger boards 9 X 11, 10 X 11 and 11 X 11 are. It is conjectured that 8 X 11 is the only counterexample of this kind of monotonicity.
