For a network G, a 2-dominating function on G is a function f : V(G) ¡ú [0, 1] such that each vertex assigned with 0 has at least two neighbors assigned with 1. The weight of f is ¦²_u¡ÊV(G) f (u), and the minimum weight over all 2-dominating functions is the 2-domination number of G. The 2-dominating set problem consists of finding the 2-domination number of a graph and it was proposed to model the fault tolerance of a sensor network. In this paper, we determined substantial 2-domination numbers of 2-dimensional meshes, cylinders, tori and hypercubes %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jmr/article/view/0/38929
