A connected dominating set of a graph G = (V, E) is a subset of vertices CD ⊆ V such that every vertex not in CD is adjacent to at least one vertex in CD, and the subgraph induced by CD is connected. We show that, given an arc family F with endpoints sorted, a minimum-cardinality connected dominating set of the circular-arc graph constructed from F can be computed in O(|F |) time.

Given a graph $$G=(V,E)$$ and an integer k, the Minimum Membership Dominating Set (MMDS) problem seeks to find dominating set $$S \subseteq V$$ of G such that for each $$v \in , $$\vert N[v] \cap S\vert $$ is at most k. We investigate parameterized complexity obtain following results MMDS problem. First, we show NP-hard even on planar bipartite graphs. Next, W[1]-hard parameter pathwidth (and t...
