On the number of minimal dominating sets on some graph classes

On the Maximum Number of Dominating Classes in Graph Coloring

In this paper we investigate the dominating- -color number،  of a graph G. That is the maximum number of color classes that are also dominating when G is colored using colors. We show that where is the join of G and H. This result allows us to construct classes of graphs such that and thus provide some information regarding two questions raised in [1] and [2].  

On the Number of Minimal Dominating Sets in Some Classes of Trees

A subset Q ⊆ V (G) is a dominating set of a graph G if each vertex in V (G) is either in Q or is adjacent to a vertex in Q. A dominating set Q of G is minimal if Q contains no dominating set of G as a proper subset. In this paper we study the number of minimal dominating sets in some classes of trees.

Minimal Dominating Sets in Graph Classes: Combinatorial Bounds and Enumeration

The maximum number of minimal dominating sets that a graph on n vertices can have is known to be at most 1.7159. This upper bound might not be tight, since no examples of graphs with 1.5705 or more minimal dominating sets are known. For several classes of graphs, we substantially improve the upper bound on the maximum number of minimal dominating sets in graphs on n vertices. In some cases, we ...

On the Neighbourhood Helly of Some Graph Classes and Applications to the Enumeration of Minimal Dominating Sets

We prove that line graphs and path graphs have bounded neighbourhood Helly. As a consequence, we obtain output-polynomial time algorithms for enumerating the set of minimal dominating sets of line graphs and path graphs. Therefore, there exists an output-polynomial time algorithm that enumerates the set of minimal edge-dominating sets of any graph.
