Summary: One of numerical invariants concerning domination in graphs is the $k$-subdomination number $\gamma ^{-11}_{kS}(G)$ of a graph $G$. A conjecture concerning it was expressed by J. H. Hattingh, namely that for any connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and any $k$ with $\frac{1}{2} n < k \leqq n$ the inequality $\gamma ^{-11}_{kS}(G) \leqq 2k - n$ holds. This paper presents a simple counterexample which disproves this conjecture. This counterexample is the graph of the three-dimensional cube and $k=5$. (English)
