  • Descrição: We prove that whenever \(G\) is a graph from a nowhere dense graph class \(\mathcal{C}\), and \(A\) is a subset of vertices of \(G\), then the number of subsets of \(A\) that are realized as intersections of \(A\) with \(r\)-neighborhoods of vertices of \(G\) is at most \(f(r,\epsilon)\cdot |A|^{1+\epsilon}\), where \(r\) is any positive integer, \(\epsilon\) is any positive real, and \(f\) is a function that depends only on the class \(\mathcal{C}\). This yields a characterization of nowhere dense classes of graphs in terms of neighborhood complexity, which answers a question posed by Reidl et al. As an algorithmic application of the above result, we show that for every fixed \(r\), the parameterized Distance-\(r\) Dominating Set problem admits an almost linear kernel on any nowhere dense graph class. This proves a conjecture posed by Drange et al., and shows that the limit of parameterized tractability of Distance-\(r\) Dominating Set on subgraph-closed graph classes lies exactly on the boundary between nowhere denseness and somewhere denseness.
