Summary: A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a connected dominating set of $G$ if it induces a connected subgraph of $G$. The connected domatic number of $G$ is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint, connected dominating sets in $V(G)$. We establish a sharp lower bound on the number of edges in a connected graph with a given order and given connected domatic number. We also show that a planar graph has connected domatic number at most 4 and give a characterization of planar graphs having connected domatic number 3. (English)
