Some families of graphs with no nonzero real domination roots

Combinatorics 2015-03-13 v1

Abstract

Let G be a simple graph of order n. The domination polynomial is the generating polynomial for the number of dominating sets of G of each cardinality. A root of this polynomial is called a domination root of G. Obviously 0 is a domination root of every graph G. In the study of the domination roots of graphs, this naturally raises the question: which graphs have no nonzero real domination roots? In this paper we present some families of graphs whose have this property.
