Abstract :

Let $G =(V(G), E(G))$ be a graph and $uv in E(G)$ be an edge. A vertex $u$ strongly dominates $v$ if $d_G(u) geq d_G(v)$. A set $S subseteq V(G)$ is a $strong$ $dominating$ $set$ ($sd-set$) if every vertex $v in V(G)-S$ is strongly dominated by some $u$ in $S$. The minimum cardinality of a strong dominating set is called the strong domination number of $G$ which is denoted by $gamma_{st}(G)$. We investigate strong domination number of some corona related graphs.
