A set D subset of V (G) is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. A dominating set of G of minimum cardinality is called a gamma(G)-set. For each vertex v is an element of V (G), we define the domination value of v to be the number of gamma(G)-sets to which v belongs. In this paper, we study some basic properties of the domination value function, thus initiating a local study of domination in graphs. Further, we characterize domination value for the Petersen graph, complete n-partite graphs, cycles, and paths.
