Abstract

Let G = (V ,E) be a simple graph without isolated vertices. A set S ⊄ V is a paired-dominating set if every vertex in V -S has at least one neighbor in S and the subgraph induced by S contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we present a lineartime algorithm to determine whether a given vertex in a block graph is contained in all its minimum paired-dominating sets.
