Self-stabilizing Algorithm for Minimal $\alpha$-Dominating Set

A self-stabilizing algorithm for the minimal $\alpha$-dominating set is proposed in this paper. The $\alpha$-domination parameter has not used before in self-stabilization paradigm. Using an arbitrary graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, the proposed algorithm converges in $O(nm)$ moves under distributed daemon. Simulation tests and mathematical proofs show the efficiency of the algorithm.
