I. Domination Grid
This is where the user interacts with the excel program (figure 8). It does not have any
formulas within this grid .However, when an all caps D is written on one of the boxes,
certain actions may occur within the program. This is also a representation of a
domination grid.
Figure 5 Domination grid has no formulas within its cells
The domination grid is a mirror of areas 2 and 3(Figure 9) . This means that if a D
is entered on cell E55(the upper right most cell on the domination grid), there would be a
change on areas 1(specifically E8) and 2(specifically E33). Other cells that change aside
from those that are mentioned are by-products of other formulas triggered by the change
in those cells. If any value is entered on the domination grid aside from “D”, there will be
no effect.
location.
However, when a D is entered onthe mirror of that cell on the grid, it becomes a
permanent “D”. It also makes other cells (that becomes an edge of that new vertex)
For example:
the case it is necessary to type F55 and E56 instead of H5 and E22. Then an IF
function is applied like the one on the right. The format of the IF function goes for all
other cells in the Proposed Areas For The Garbage Bins area.
III. IntersectingVertices Graph
This indicates the current situation of the graph or if there are any overlapping vertices
between vertices. If no value is entered on the Domination Grid all the cells with values
on the Intersecting Vertices Graph would contain a 0 value. This means that these areas
If a D was placed on the upper right most Domination Grid, cells Q33, N33, and Q47
would have the value 1. This means that these areas are already dominated by a vertex
If a D was placed on the upper and lower left most areas of the Domination Grid, cells
H33 and E47 would contain a red highlighted 2. This means that these two vertices have
two vertices that are overlapping. These situations must be avoided as much as possible
(Figure 13).

Formula used:
the Domination grid, that would make a cell a vertex or an edge. An example of this is
that for the first box on the upper left most box on the Calculation For The Dominated
Boxes (which is a mirror of the upper left most box on the Domination Grid) the cell
address entered was E55. This means that if a garbage bin was placed on E55, one cell
This box is based on the Intersecting Vertices Graph. It indicates the number of
overlapping vertices dominated by a bin. The number showed on this box is based on
the number of cells that contain cells with values equal to or greater than 2.
The formula used is an If function that writes 1 if a cell contains a value equal to or
greater than 2.

V. Number OfNon-dominatedVerticesBox
This is also related to the Intersecting Vertices Graph. It indicates the numberof
areas that are not vertices of any vertex. This also means that there is no accessible
garbage bin nearby. It counts the number of 0s in the Intersecting Vertices Graph.
This indicates the minimum number of bins that can be used in the grid in order for
the entire grid to be dominated. It is also the maximum number of bins that the user
can use since the goal is to look for the least number of bins that can dominate the
entire grid. The formula used to find the domination number can be found on the
This counts the number of “D”s that you can be written on the grid remaining
