Question

The dominating set problem is :

Given an $n$ vertex graph $G=(V,E)$, find a set $S(\subseteq V)$ such that $|N[S]|$ is exactly $n$, where $$N[S] := \{x~ | \text{ either $x$ or a neighbor of $x$ lies in $S$}\}$$

My question is if the following (new problem) has a definite name in literature, and if not what should be the most appropriate name.

New Problem: Given an $n$ vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$ , find a set $S(\subseteq V)$ of size $k$ such that $|N[S]|$ is maximized.

For the second problem, some of the names I have seen in the literature are maximum-graph-coverage; partial-coverage; k-dominating-set, (however, the exact same names are also used in other contexts).
