On the number of minimum dominating sets and total dominating sets in forests

Combinatorics 2024-08-13 v1

Abstract

We show that the maximum number of minimum dominating sets of a forest with domination number γ\gamma is at most 5γ\sqrt{5}^{\gamma} and construct for each γ\gamma a tree with domination number γ\gamma that has more than 255γ\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}^{\gamma} minimum dominating sets. Furthermore, we disprove a conjecture about the number of minimum total dominating sets in forests by Henning, Mohr and Rautenbach.
