Complexity of the game connected domination problem

Combinatorics 2025-06-02 v2

Abstract

The connected domination game is a variation of the domination game where the played vertices must form a connected subgraph at all stages of the game. In this paper we prove that deciding whether the game connected domination number is smaller than a given integer is PSPACE-complete using log-space reductions for both Dominator- and Staller-start connected domination game.
