On well-dominated graphs

Combinatorics 2019-09-24 v1

Abstract

A graph is \emph{well-dominated} if all of its minimal dominating sets have the same cardinality. We prove that at least one of the factors is well-dominated if the Cartesian product of two graphs is well-dominated. In addition, we show that the Cartesian product of two connected, triangle-free graphs is well-dominated if and only if both graphs are complete graphs of order 22. Under the assumption that at least one of the connected graphs GG or HH has no isolatable vertices, we prove that the direct product of GG and HH is well-dominated if and only if either G=H=K3G=H=K_3 or G=K2G=K_2 and HH is either the 44-cycle or the corona of a connected graph. Furthermore, we show that the disjunctive product of two connected graphs is well-dominated if and only if one of the factors is a complete graph and the other factor has domination number at most 22.
