Abstract
We investigate the parameterized complexity of generalisations and variations
of the dominating set problem on classes of graphs that are nowhere dense. In
particular, we show that the distance-$d$ dominating-set problem, also known
as the $(k,d)$-centres problem, is fixed-parameter tractable on any class that
is nowhere dense and closed under induced subgraphs. This generalises known
results about the dominating set problem on $H$-minor free classes, classes
with locally excluded minors and classes of graphs of bounded expansion. A
key feature of our proof is that it is based simply on the fact that these
graph classes are uniformly quasi-wide, and does not rely on a structural
decomposition. Our result also establishes that the distance-$d$
dominating-set problem is FPT on classes of bounded expansion, answering a
question of Ne{\v s}et{\v r}il and Ossona de Mendez.
