Abstract
The minimum dominating set problem has wide applications in network science and related fields. It consists of assembling a node set of global minimum size such that any node of the network is either in this set or is adjacent to at least one node of this set. Although this is a difficult optimization problem in general, we show it can be exactly solved by a generalized leaf-removal process if the network contains no core. If the network has an extensive core, we estimate the size of minimum dominating sets by a mean-field theory and implement a belief-propagation algorithm to obtain near-optimal solutions. Our algorithms also perform well on real-world network instances.
