Abstract: For a graph G=(V,E), a set DsubseteqV is called a emph{disjunctive dominating set} of G if for every vertex vinVsetminusD, v is either adjacent to a vertex of D or has at least two vertices in D at distance 2 from it. The cardinality of a minimum disjunctive dominating set of G is called the emph{disjunctive domination number} of graph G, and is denoted by gamma2d(G). The extsc{Minimum Disjunctive Domination Problem} (MDDP) is to find a disjunctive dominating set of cardinality gamma2d(G). Given a positive integer k and a graph G, the extsc{Disjunctive Domination Decision Problem} (DDDP) is to decide whether G has a disjunctive dominating set of cardinality at most k. In this article, we first propose a linear time algorithm for MDDP in proper interval graphs. Next we tighten the NP-completeness of DDDP by showing that it remains NP-complete even in chordal graphs. We also propose a (ln(Delta2+Delta+2)+1)-approximation algorithm for MDDP in general graphs and prove that MDDP can not be approximated within (1epsilon)ln(|V|) for any epsilon>0 unless NP subseteq DTIME(|V|O(loglog|V|)). Finally, we show that MDDP is APX-complete for bipartite graphs with maximum degree 3.
