Abstract

Given two disjoint copies of a graph GG, denoted G1G^1 and G2G^2, and a permutation π\pi of V(G)V(G), the graph πG\pi G is constructed by joining uV(G1)u \in V(G^1) to π(u)V(G2)\pi(u) \in V(G^2) for all uV(G1)u \in V(G^1). GG is said to be a universal fixer if the domination number of πG\pi G is equal to the domination number of GG for all π\pi of V(G)V(G). In 1999 it was conjectured that the only universal fixers are the edgeless graphs. Since then, a few partial results have been shown. In this paper, we prove the conjecture completely.
