On the Enumeration of Minimal Dominating Sets and Related Notions

A dominating set ${D}$ in a graph is a subset of its vertex set such that each vertex is either in ${D}$ or has a neighbor in ${D}$. In this paper, we are interested in the enumeration of (inclusionwise) minimal dominating sets in graphs, called the Dom-Enum problem. It is well known that this probl...

Shrnutí:	A dominating set ${D}$ in a graph is a subset of its vertex set such that each vertex is either in ${D}$ or has a neighbor in ${D}$. In this paper, we are interested in the enumeration of (inclusionwise) minimal dominating sets in graphs, called the Dom-Enum problem. It is well known that this problem can be polynomially reduced to the Trans-Enum problem in hypergraphs, i.e., the problem of enumerating all minimal transversals in a hypergraph. First, we show that the Trans-Enum problem can be polynomially reduced to the Dom-Enum problem. As a consequence there exists an output-polynomial time algorithm for the Trans-Enum problem if and only if there exists one for the Dom-Enum problem. Second, we study the Dom-Enum problem in some graph classes. We give an output-polynomial time algorithm for the Dom-Enum problem in split graphs and introduce the completion of a graph to obtain an output-polynomial time algorithm for the Dom-Enum problem in ${P}_6$-free chordal graphs, a proper superclass of split graphs. Finally, we investigate the complexity of the enumeration of (inclusionwise) minimal connected dominating sets and minimal total dominating sets of graphs. We show that there exists an output-polynomial time algorithm for the Dom-Enum problem (or, equivalently, Trans-Enum problem) if and only if there exists one for the following enumeration problems: minimal total dominating sets, minimal total dominating sets in split graphs, minimal connected dominating sets in split graphs, minimal dominating sets in co-bipartite graphs.
