In graph theory, an eternal dominating set for a graph G = (VE) is a subset D of V such that D is a dominating set on which mobile guards are initially located. The set D must be such that for any infinite sequence of attacks occurring sequentially at vertices, the set D can be modified by moving a guard from an adjacent vertex to the attacked vertex, provided the attacked vertex has no guard on it at the time it is attacked. The configuration of guards after each attack must induce a dominating set. The eternal domination number, γ(G), is the minimum number of vertices possible in the initial set D. For example, the eternal domination number of the cycle on five vertices is two.
