%N Number of minimum dominating sets for the n X n knight graph.

%C In other words, as made explicit in the old name: Sequence A006075 gives minimum number of knights needed to cover an n X n board (i.e., the domination number of the n X n knight graph). This sequence (A103315) gives total number of solutions using A006075(n) knights (compare A006076).
