Domination in partitioned graphs

Let V₁, V₂ be a partition of the vertex set in a graph G, and let $γ_i$ denote the least number of vertices needed in G to dominate $V_i$. We prove that γ₁+γ₂ ≤ [4/5]|V(G)| for any graph without isolated vertices or edges, and that equality occurs precisely if G consists of disjoint 5-paths and edges between their centers. We also give upper and lower bounds on γ₁+γ₂ for graphs with minimum valency δ, and conjecture that γ₁+γ₂ ≤ [4/(δ+3)]|V(G)| for δ ≤ 5. As δ gets large, however, the largest possible value of (γ₁+γ₂)/|V(G)| is shown to grow with the order of (logδ)/(δ).
