Abstract:A paired-dominating set of a graph G without isolated vertices is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has perfect matching. The minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set of G is called the paired-domination number γpr(G) of G. The paired-domination subdivision number sdγpr(G) of G is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the paired-domination number. Here, we show that, for each tree T≠P5 of order n≥3 and ea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
