Abstract

A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set is adjacent to a vertex in the set, while a paired-dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in the set and the subgraph induced by the set contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we provide a constructive characterization of graphs whose vertex set can be partitioned into a dominating set and a paired-dominating set.
