Abstract
In a graph G = ( V, E), a subset C of vertices is called a Connected Dominating Set if every vertex is either in C or adjacent to a vertex in C, and in addition the subgraph induced by C is connected. Given a graph, finding the minimum Connected Dominating Set is a classical combinatorial optimization problem, existing in literature for a long time. Due to wide applications of the minimum Connected Dominating Set in wireless networks, Connected Dominating Sets attract many recent research efforts. In this chapter, those developments are surveyed.
