Let G= (V, E) be a graph. A Subset D of V is called a dominating set of G if every vertex in V-D is adjacent to atleast one vertex in D. The Domination number γ (G) of G is the cardinality of the minimum dominating set of G. Let G = (V, E ) be a graph and let f be a function that assigns to each vertex of V to a set of values from the set {1,2,.......k} that is, f:V(G) → {1,2,.....k} such that for each u,v V(G), f(u)≠f(v), if u is adjacent to v in G. Then the dominating set D V (G) is called a balanced dominating set if In this paper, we determine the balanced domination number for union of graphs.
