r"""Finds a dominating set for the graph G.
A *dominating set* for a graph with node set *V* is a subset *D* of
*V* such that every node not in *D* is adjacent to at least one
member of *D* [1]_.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
start_with : node (default=None)
Node to use as a starting point for the algorithm.
Returns
-------
D : set
A dominating set for G.
Notes
-----
This function is an implementation of algorithm 7 in [2]_ which
finds some dominating set, not necessarily the smallest one.
