A Polynomial Delay Algorithm for Enumerating Minimal Dominating Sets in Chordal Graphs
An output-polynomial algorithm for the listing of minimal dominating sets in
graphs is a challenging open problem and is known to be equivalent to the
well-known Transversal problem which asks for an output-polynomial algorithm
for listing the set of minimal hitting sets in hypergraphs. We give a
polynomial delay algorithm to list the set of minimal dominating sets in
chordal graphs, an important and well-studied graph class where such an
algorithm was open for a while.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, submitte
Enumerating Minimal Connected Dominating Sets in Graphs of Bounded Chordality
Listing, generating or enumerating objects of specified type is one of the principal tasks in algorithmics. In graph algorithms one often enumerates vertex subsets satisfying a certain property. We study the enumeration of all minimal connected dominating sets of an input graph from various graph classes of bounded chordality. We establish enumeration algorithms as well as lower and upper bounds for the maximum number of minimal connected dominating sets in such graphs. In particular, we present algorithms to enumerate all minimal connected dominating sets of chordal graphs in time O(1.7159^n), of split graphs in time O(1.3803^n), and of AT-free, strongly chordal, and distance-hereditary graphs in time O^*(3^{n/3}), where n is the number of vertices of the input graph. Our algorithms imply corresponding upper bounds for the number of minimal connected dominating sets for these graph classes
Neighborhood Inclusions for Minimal Dominating Sets Enumeration: Linear and Polynomial Delay Algorithms in P_7 - Free and P_8 - Free Chordal Graphs
In [M. M. Kant\'e, V. Limouzy, A. Mary, and L. Nourine. On the enumeration of
minimal dominating sets and related notions. SIAM Journal on Discrete
Mathematics, 28(4):1916-1929, 2014] the authors give an delay
algorithm based on neighborhood inclusions for the enumeration of minimal
dominating sets in split and -free chordal graphs. In this paper, we
investigate generalizations of this technique to -free chordal graphs for
larger integers . In particular, we give and delays
algorithms in the classes of -free and -free chordal graphs. As for
-free chordal graphs for , we give evidence that such a technique
is inefficient as a key step of the algorithm, namely the irredundant extension
problem, becomes NP-complete.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figure
On the Enumeration of Minimal Dominating Sets and Related Notions
A dominating set in a graph is a subset of its vertex set such that each
vertex is either in or has a neighbour in . In this paper, we are
interested in the enumeration of (inclusion-wise) minimal dominating sets in
graphs, called the Dom-Enum problem. It is well known that this problem can be
polynomially reduced to the Trans-Enum problem in hypergraphs, i.e., the
problem of enumerating all minimal transversals in a hypergraph. Firstly we
show that the Trans-Enum problem can be polynomially reduced to the Dom-Enum
problem. As a consequence there exists an output-polynomial time algorithm for
the Trans-Enum problem if and only if there exists one for the Dom-Enum
problem. Secondly, we study the Dom-Enum problem in some graph classes. We give
an output-polynomial time algorithm for the Dom-Enum problem in split graphs,
and introduce the completion of a graph to obtain an output-polynomial time
algorithm for the Dom-Enum problem in -free chordal graphs, a proper
superclass of split graphs. Finally, we investigate the complexity of the
enumeration of (inclusion-wise) minimal connected dominating sets and minimal
total dominating sets of graphs. We show that there exists an output-polynomial
time algorithm for the Dom-Enum problem (or equivalently Trans-Enum problem) if
and only if there exists one for the following enumeration problems: minimal
total dominating sets, minimal total dominating sets in split graphs, minimal
connected dominating sets in split graphs, minimal dominating sets in
co-bipartite graphs.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, In revisio
Computational complexity of domination integrity in graphs
In a graph G, those dominating sets S which give minimum value for |S| + m(G−S), where m(G−S) denotes the maximum order of a component of G−S, are called dominating integrity sets of G (briefly called DI-sets of G). This concept combines two important aspects namely domination and integrity in graphs. In this paper, we Show that the decision problem domination integrity is NP-complete even when restricted to planar or chordal graphs.Publisher's Versio
Enumerating Minimal Dominating Sets in Chordal Bipartite Graphs *
Abstract We show that all minimal dominating sets of a chordal bipartite graph can be generated in incremental polynomial, hence output polynomial, time. Enumeration of minimal dominating sets in graphs is equivalent to enumeration of minimal transversals in hypergraphs. Whether the minimal transversals of a hypergraph can be enumerated in output polynomial time is a well-studied and challenging question that has been open for several decades. With this result we contribute to the known cases having an affirmative reply to this important question
The -Dominating Graph
Given a graph , the -dominating graph of , , is defined to
be the graph whose vertices correspond to the dominating sets of that have
cardinality at most . Two vertices in are adjacent if and only if
the corresponding dominating sets of differ by either adding or deleting a
single vertex. The graph aids in studying the reconfiguration problem
for dominating sets. In particular, one dominating set can be reconfigured to
another by a sequence of single vertex additions and deletions, such that the
intermediate set of vertices at each step is a dominating set if and only if
they are in the same connected component of . In this paper we give
conditions that ensure is connected.Comment: 2 figure, The final publication is available at

On the algorithmic complexity of twelve covering and independence parameters of graphs
The definitions of four previously studied parameters related to total coverings and total matchings of graphs can be restricted, thereby obtaining eight parameters related to covering and independence, each of which has been studied previously in some form. Here we survey briefly results concerning total coverings and total matchings of graphs, and consider the aforementioned 12 covering and independence parameters with regard to algorithmic complexity. We survey briefly known results for several graph classes, and obtain new NP-completeness results for the minimum total cover and maximum minimal total cover problems in planar graphs, the minimum maximal total matching problem in bipartite and chordal graphs, and the minimum independent dominating set problem in planar cubic graphs
