Given a graph G with vertex set V, a subset S of V is a dominating set if
every vertex in V is either in S or adjacent to some vertex in S. The size of a
smallest dominating set is called the domination number of G. We study a
variant of domination called porous exponential domination in which each vertex
v of V is assigned a weight by each vertex s of S that decreases exponentially
as the distance between v and s increases. S is a porous exponential dominating
set for G if all vertices in S distribute to vertices in G a total weight of at
least 1. The porous exponential domination number of G is the size of a
smallest porous exponential dominating set. In this paper we compute bounds for
the porous exponential domination number of special graphs known as Apollonian
networks.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, Research partially funded by CURM, the
