Abstract

A vertex subset SS in a graph GG is a dominating set if every vertex not contained in SS has a neighbor in SS. A dominating set SS is a connected dominating set if the subgraph G[S]G[S] induced by SS is connected. A connected dominating set SS is a minimal connected dominating set if no proper subset of SS is also a connected dominating set. We prove that there exists a constant ε>1050\varepsilon > 10^{-50} such that every graph GG on nn vertices has at most O(2(1ε)n)O(2^{(1-\varepsilon)n}) minimal connected dominating sets. For the same ε\varepsilon we also give an algorithm with running time 2(1ε)nnO(1)2^{(1-\varepsilon)n}\cdot n^{O(1)} to enumerate all minimal connected dominating sets in an input graph GG.
