%0 Journal Article %T Dominating functions and graphs %A Reinhard Diestel %A Saharon Shelah %A Juris Stepr¨ˇns %J Mathematics %D 1993 %I arXiv %X A graph is called dominating if its vertices can be labelled with integers in such a way that for every function f: omega-> omega the graph contains a ray whose sequence of labels eventually exceeds f. We obtain a characterization of these graphs by producing a small family of dominating graphs with the property that every dominating graph must contain some member of the family. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9308215v1
