A subset S ⊆ V(G) is a double dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G is the double domination number $\gamma$ {\texttimes}2(G). A function f(p) is defined, and it is shown that $\gamma$ {\texttimes}2(G) = minf(p), where the minimum is taken over the n-dimensional cube Cn = {\{}p = (p1,{\ldots},pn) | pi ∈ IR, 0 ≤ pi ≤ 1,i = 1,{\ldots},n{\}}. Using this result, it is then shown that if G has order n with minimum degree $\delta$ and average degree d, then $\gamma${\texttimes}2(G) ≤ ((ln(1+d)+ln$\delta$+1)/$\delta$)n.}, note = {Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Econometrics, University of Zielona G{\'o}ra}, note = {Nachgewiesen 15.1995 -}, note = {Urh. bis 2000: Institute of Mathematics, Technical University of Zielona G{\'o}ra; bis 2004: University of Zielona G{\'o}ra}, issn = {2083-5892}, doi = {10.7151/dmgt.1256}, url = {https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00040542}, url = {http://uri.gbv.de/document/gvk:ppn:827726732}, url = {http://uri.gbv.de/document/gvk:ppn:633752266}, url = {https://doi.org/10.7151/dmgt.1256}, file = {:https://www.db-thueringen.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/dbt_derivate_00046438/2083-5892_25_2005_1_2_29-34.pdf:PDF}, language = {en} }
