On the Unimodality of Domination Polynomials

A polynomial is said to be unimodal if its coefficients are non-decreasing and then non-increasing. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the number of domination sets of each cardinality in $G$, and its coefficients have been conjectured to be unimodal. In this paper we will show the domination polynomial of paths, cycles and complete multipartite graphs are unimodal, and that the domination polynomial of almost every graph is unimodal with mode $\lceil \frac{n}{2}\rceil$.
