Problem

Let nn and kk be positive integers such that n≥k(k+1)n \geq k(k+1) and k>1k > 1. Recall (from Subsection 2.6.3) the Kneser graph KGn,kKG_{n,k}, whose vertices are the kk-element subsets of {1,2,…,n}\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}, and whose edges are the unordered pairs {A,B}\{A, B\} of such subsets with A∩B=∅A \cap B = \varnothing. Prove that the minimum size of a dominating set of KGn,kKG_{n,k} is k+1k+1.
