COMMENTS

Theorem 5.1.2 of Xu, and proved in Sohn, 2007. 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.

FORMULA

For n>=4 a(n) = bondage number b(C_n X C_3) = 2 if n = 0 (mod 4), 4 if n = 1 or 2 (mod 4), 5 if n = 3 (mod 4).
