Abstract

A vertex set DD in a finite undirected graph GG is an {\em efficient dominating set} (\emph{e.d.s.}\ for short) of GG if every vertex of GG is dominated by exactly one vertex of DD. The \emph{Efficient Domination} (ED) problem, which asks for the existence of an e.d.s.\ in GG, is known to be \NP-complete for chordal bipartite graphs as well as for P7P_7-free graphs, and even for very restricted HH-free bipartite graph classes such as for K1,4K_{1,4}-free bipartite graphs as well as for C4C_4-free bipartite graphs while it is solvable in polynomial time for P8P_8-free bipartite graphs as well as for S1,3,3S_{1,3,3}-free bipartite graphs and for S1,1,5S_{1,1,5}-free bipartite graphs. Here we show that ED can be solved in polynomial time for (S1,2,5,S3,3,3)(S_{1,2,5},S_{3,3,3})-free chordal bipartite graphs.
