Distributed distance domination in graphs with no $K_{2,t}$-minor

We prove that a simple distributed algorithm finds a constant approximation of an optimal distance-$k$ dominating set in graphs with no $K_{2,t}$-minor. The algorithm runs in a constant number of rounds. We further show how this procedure can be used to give a distributed algorithm which given $ε>0$ and $k,t\in \mathbb{Z}^+$ finds in a graph $G=(V,E)$ with no $K_{2,t}$-minor a distance-$k$ dominating set of size at most $(1+ε)$ of the optimum. The algorithm runs in $O(\log^*{|V|})$ rounds in the Local model. In particular, both algorithms work in outerplanar graphs.
