It is a long-standing open problem whether the minimal dominating sets of a graph can be enumerated in output-polynomial time. In this paper we investigate this problem in graph classes defined by forbidding an induced subgraph. In…

An independent dominating set D of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of vertices such that every vertex in V \ D has at least one neighbor in D and D is an independent set, i.e. no two vertices of D are adjacent in G. Finding a minimum…

Say that an edge of a graph $G$ dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of edges $E' \subseteq E$ which dominates all edges of $G$. In particular, if every edge of $G$ is…

Enumerating the minimal hitting sets of a hypergraph is a problem which arises in many data management applications that include constraint mining, discovering unique column combinations, and enumerating database repairs. Previously, Eiter…

Subgraph enumeration problems ask to output all subgraphs of an input graph that belongs to the specified graph class or satisfy the given constraint. These problems have been widely studied in theoretical computer science. As far, many…

We give the first linear kernels for the (Connected) Dominating Set problems on H-topological minor free graphs. We prove the existence of polynomial time algorithms that, for a given H-topological-minor-free graph G and a positive integer…

We prove constructively that the maximum possible number of minimal connected dominating sets in a connected undirected graph of order $n$ is in $\Omega(1.489^n)$. This improves the previously known lower bound of $\Omega(1.4422^n)$ and…

In this paper, we study the {\sc Dominating Set} problem in random graphs. In a random graph, each pair of vertices are joined by an edge with a probability of $p$, where $p$ is a positive constant less than $1$. We show that, given a…

A set $S\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a dominating set if each vertex has a neighbor in $S$ or belongs to $S$. Dominating Set is the problem of deciding, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, if $G$ has a dominating set of size…

The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set of a graph. By applying a particular scheme, we ensure that the resulting graph is…

We investigate the problem of simultaneously dominating all spanning trees of a given graph. We prove that on 2-connected graphs, a subset of the vertices dominates all spanning trees of the graph if and only if it is a vertex cover. Using…

The concept of Roman domination has recently been studied concerning enumerating and counting (WG 2022). It has been shown that minimal Roman dominating functions can be enumerated with polynomial delay, contrasting what is known about…

Roman domination is one of few examples where the related extension problem is polynomial-time solvable even if the original decision problem is NP-complete. This is interesting, as it allows to establish polynomial-delay enumeration…

The idea of enumeration algorithms with polynomial delay is to polynomially bound the running time between any two subsequent solutions output by the enumeration algorithm. While it is open for more than four decades if all minimal…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set of terminal vertices $T$ we say that a superset $S$ of $T$ is $T$-connecting if $S$ induces a connected graph, and $S$ is minimal if no strict subset of $S$ is $T$-connecting. In this paper we prove that…

A set $D \subseteq V$ is a dominating set of a graph $G$ if every vertex in $V - D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is a paired-dominating set if the subgraph of $G$ induced by $D$ contains a perfect…
