Abstract: A dominating set on an $n$-dimensional hypercube is equivalent to a binary covering code of length $n$ and covering radius 1. It is still an open problem to determine the domination number $gamma(Q_n)$ for $ngeq9$ and $ne{2}^k,2^k-1$ ($kinmathbbN$). When $n$ is a multiple of 6, the best known lower bound is $gamma(Q_n)geqfrac{2}^{n}n$, given by Van Wee (1988). In this article, we present a new method using congruence properties due to Laurent Habsieger (1997) and obtained an improved lower bound $gamma(Q_n)geqfrac(n-2)2^n{n}^2-2n-2$ when $n$ is a multiple of 6.
