We show the (known) result that for the $n$-cube $Q_n$, $L(Q_n) \\sim 2^n = |V(Q_n)|$ as $n\\rightarrow \\infty$. Examining this more carefully, consider the minimum size of a connected dominating set of vertices $\\gamma_c(Q_n)$, which is $2^n-L(Q_n)$ for $n\\ge2$. We show that $\\gamma_c(Q_n)\\sim 2^n/n$. We use Hamming codes and an \"expansion\" method to construct leafy spanning trees in $Q_n$."},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1905.13292","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
