On the domination polynomials of non P4-free graphs
author
Abstract:
A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of non $P_4$-free graphs. Also, we pose a conjecture about domination roots of these kind of graphs.

P4-domination in Minimal Imperfect Graphs
Numerous studies concerning the number and disposition of chordless paths on four vertices in graphs proved that there is a strong relation between these paths and the perfectness of graphs. In this paper, we further investigate this relation by introducing the notion of P4-domination and formulating two conjectures, which are used both to find an equivalent version of the Odd Pair Conjecture a...

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G, x)=sum_{i=gamma(G)}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$ and $gamma(G)$ is the domination number of $G$. In this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.
full textOn the super domination number of graphs
The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...
full textDomination and Total Domination on Asteroidal Triple-free Graphs
We present the first polynomial time algorithms for solving the NPcomplete graph problems DOMINATING SET and TOTAL DOMINATING SET when restricted to asteroidal triple-free graphs. We also present algorithms to compute a minimum cardinality dominating set and a minimum cardinality total dominating set on a large superclass of the asteroidal triple-free graphs, called DDP-graphs. These algorithms...
