Abstract
A graph is subcubic if it is connected and its maximum vertex degree does not exceed 3. Two disjoint vertex subsets of a graph form a connected coalition in if neither of them is a connected dominating set but their union is a connected dominating set. A connected coalition partition of is a partition of its vertices , such that each is either a connected dominating set consisting of a single vertex or forms a coalition with some set of . The formation of connected coalitions is described by a coalition graph whose vertices correspond to the sets of , and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding sets form a coalition in . We characterize all coalition graphs of subcubic graphs.
