Paired and semipaired domination in near-triangulations

A dominating set of a graph G is a subset D of vertices such that every vertex not in D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. A dominating set D is paired if the subgraph induced by its vertices has a perfect matching, and semipaired if every vertex in D is paired with exactly one other vertex in...

Sumario:A dominating set of a graph G is a subset D of vertices such that every vertex not in D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. A dominating set D is paired if the subgraph induced by its vertices has a perfect matching, and semipaired if every vertex in D is paired with exactly one other vertex in D that is within distance 2 from it. The paired domination number, denoted by ¿pr(G), is the minimum cardinality of a paired dominating set of G, and the semipaired domination number, denoted by ¿pr2(G), is the minimum cardinality of a semipaired dominating set of G. A near-triangulation is a biconnected planar graph that admits a plane embedding such that all of its faces are triangles except possibly the outer face. We show in this paper that ¿pr(G) = 2b n 4 c for any neartriangulation G of order n = 4, and that with some exceptions, ¿pr2(G) = b 2n 5 c for any near-triangulation G of order n = 5.
