%N Bondage number of the Cartesian product graph G = C_n X K_2.

%C Theorem 5.1.1 of Xu, and proved in Dunbar, 1998. The bondage number of a nonempty graph G is the cardinality of a smallest edge set whose removal from G results in a graph with domination number greater than the domination number of G.

%F Let G = C_n X K_2, for n >= 3. Then a(n) = bondage number of G = 2 if n = 0 or 1 (mod 4), 3 if n = 3 (mod 4), 4 if n = 2 (mod 4).
