A dominating set D for a graph G is a subset of V(G) such that any vertex not in D has at least one neighbor in D. The domination number γ(G) is the size of a minimum dominating set in G. Vizing‟s conjecture from 1968 states that for the Cartesian product of graphs G and H ,γ(G)γ(H) ≤ γ(G□H), and Clark and Suen (2000) proved that γ(G)γ(H)≤2γ(G□H). In this paper, we modify the approach of Clark and Suen to prove a variety of similar bounds related to total and paired domination, and also extend these bounds to then n-Cartesian product of graphs A1throughAn.
