Minimal Graphs with Disjoint Dominating and Paired-Dominating Sets

A subset D ⊆ VG is a dominating set of G if every vertex in VG – D has a neighbor in D, while D is a paired-dominating set of G if D is a dominating set and the subgraph induced by D contains a perfect matching. A graph G is a DPDP -graph if it has a pair (D, P) of disjoint sets of vertices of G suc...

description A subset D ⊆ VG is a dominating set of G if every vertex in VG – D has a neighbor in D, while D is a paired-dominating set of G if D is a dominating set and the subgraph induced by D contains a perfect matching. A graph G is a DPDP -graph if it has a pair (D, P) of disjoint sets of vertices of G such that D is a dominating set and P is a paired-dominating set of G. The study of the DPDP -graphs was initiated by Southey and Henning [Cent. Eur. J. Math. 8 (2010) 459–467; J. Comb. Optim. 22 (2011) 217–234].
