The number of dominating $k$-sets of paths, cycles and wheels
  We give a shorter proof of the recurrence relation for the domination polynomial $\gamma (P_{n},t)$ and for the number $\gamma _{k}(P_{n})$ of dominating $k$-sets of the path with $n$ vertices. For every positive integers $n$ and $k,$ numbers $\gamma _{k}(P_{n})$ are determined solving a problem posed by S. Alikhani in CID 2015. Moreover, the numbers of dominating $k$-sets $\gamma _{k}(C_{n})$ of cycles and $\gamma _{k}(W_{n})$ of wheels with $n$ vertices are computed.
