Abstract

Let γg(G)\gamma_g(G) and γtg(G)\gamma_{tg}(G) be the game domination number and the total game domination number of a graph GG, respectively. Then GG is γg\gamma_g-perfect (resp. γtg\gamma_{tg}-perfect), if every induced subgraph FF of GG satisfies γg(F)=γ(F)\gamma_g(F)=\gamma(F) (resp. γtg(F)=γt(F)\gamma_{tg}(F)=\gamma_t(F)). A recursive characterization of γg\gamma_g-perfect graphs is derived. The characterization yields a polynomial recognition algorithm for γg\gamma_g-perfect graphs. It is proved that every minimally γg\gamma_g-imperfect graph has domination number 22. All minimally γg\gamma_g-imperfect triangle-free graphs are determined. It is also proved that γtg\gamma_{tg}-perfect graphs are precisely 2P3\overline{2P_3}-free cographs.
