چکیده
Let G = (V,E) be a graph without isolated vertices. A set S ⊆ V is a paired-domination set if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to a vertex in S and the subgraph induced by S contains a perfect matching. The paired-domination problem is to determine the paired-domination number, which is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set. Motivated by a mistaken algorithm given by Chen, Kang and Ng [ Paired domination on interval and circular-arc graphs, Disc. Appl. Math. 155(2007),2077-2086], we present two linear time algorithms to find a minimum cardinality paired-dominating set in block and interval graphs. In addition, we prove that paired-domination problem is NP-complete for bipartite graphs, chordal graphs, even split graphs.

متن کاملCoverings, matchings and paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs
The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...

Abstra t A vertex subset D of a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex of G is either in D or is adja ent to a vertex in D. The paired domination problem on G asks for a minimumardinality dominating set S of G su h that the subgraph indu ed by S ontains a perfe t mat hing; motivation for this problem omes from the interest in nding a small number of lo ations to pla e pairs of mutually vis...
متن کاملPaired domination on interval and circular-arc graphs
We study the paired-domination problem on interval graphs and circular-arc graphs. Given an interval model with endpoints sorted, we give an O(m + n) time algorithm to solve the paired-domination problem on interval graphs. The result is extended to solve the paired-domination problem on circular-arc graphs in O(m(m+ n)) time. MSC: 05C69, 05C85, 68Q25, 68R10, 68W05
متن کاملLinear-Time Algorithms for the Paired-Domination Problem in Interval Graphs and Circular-Arc Graphs
In a graph G, a vertex subset S ⊆ V (G) is said to be a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S. A dominating set S of a graph G is called a paired-dominating set if the induced subgraph G[S] contains a perfect matching. The paired-domination problem involves finding a smallest paired-dominating set of G. Given an intersection model of an interval graph G with ...
