Abstract

We describe an algorithm for the dominating set problem withtime complexity O((24g2 + 24g + 1)kn2) for graphs of bounded genus g, where k is the size of the set. It has previously been shown that this problem is fixed parameter tractable for planar graphs. Our method is a refinement of the earlier techniques.
