Well-forced graphs

Abstract

A graph in which all minimal zero forcing sets are in fact minimum size is called ``well-forced." This paper characterizes well-forced trees and presents an algorithm for determining which trees are well-forced. Additionally, we characterize which vertices in a tree are contained in no minimal zero forcing set.
