Power propagation time and lower bounds for power domination number

We present a counterexample to a lower bound for the power domination number given in Liao, Power domination with bounded time constraints, J. Comb. Optim. 31 (2016)725-742. We also define the power propagation time, using the power domination propagation ideas in Liao and the (zero forcing) propagation time in Hogben et al, Propagation time for zero forcing on a graph, Discrete Appl. Math.160 (2012) 1994-2005.
