Popis: A subset \(D\) of the vertex set \(V\) of a graph \(G\) is called an \([1,k]\)-dominating set if every vertex from \(V-D\) is adjacent to at least one vertex and at most \(k\) vertices of \(D\). A \([1,k]\)-dominating set with the minimum number of vertices is called a \(\gamma_{[1,k]}\)-set and the number of its vertices is the \([1,k]\)-domination number \(\gamma_{[1,k]}(G)\) of \(G\). In this short note we show that the decision problem whether \(\gamma_{[1,k]}(G)=n\) is an \(NP\)-hard problem, even for bipartite graphs. Also, a simple construction of a bipartite graph \(G\) of order \(n\) satisfying \(\gamma_{[1,k]}(G)=n\) is given for every integer \(n \geq (k+1)(2k+3)\).
