On independent domination and packing numbers of subcubic graphs

Combinatorics 2024-04-24 v3

Abstract

In a recent paper, Cho and Kim proved that in subcubic graphs, the independent domination number is at most three times the packing number. They subsequently posed the question of characterizing subcubic graphs that achieve this bound. In this paper, we completely solve the question by proving that exactly four graphs meet this bound.
