Reed's domination conjecture for connected cubic graphs

About 9 years old · traced to

Let GG be a connected cubic graph, and let V(G)V(G) denote its vertex set. A dominating set is a subset of vertices such that every vertex outside the subset has a neighbor in it. Reed's conjecture. Every connected cubic graph GG contains a dominating set of at most

⌈∣V(G)∣3⌉\left\lceil \frac{|V(G)|}{3} \right\rceil

vertices. This conjecture gives a universal upper bound on the domination number of connected cubic graphs; the source presents it as a statement that has been suggested and widely discussed, without supplying evidence of a resolution.
