Abstract: A dominating set in a graph G is a subset of vertices D such that every vertex in VsetminusD is a neighbor of some vertex of D. The domination number of G is the minimum size of a dominating set of G and it is denoted by gamma(G). Also, a subset D of a graph G is a [1,2]-set if, each vertex vinVsetminusD is adjacent to either one or two vertices in D and the minimum cardinality of [1,2]-dominating set of G, is denoted by gamma[1,2](G). Chang's conjecture says that for every 16leqmleqn, gamma(Gm,n)=leftlfloorfrac(n+2)(m+2)5ightfloor−4 and this conjecture has been proven by Goncalves et al. This paper presents an explicit constructing method to find an optimal dominating set for grid graph Gm,n where m,ngeq16 in O(extsizeofanswer). In addition, we will show that gamma(Gm,n)=gamma[1,2](Gm,n) where m,ngeq16 holds in response to an open question posed by Chellali et al.
