Abstract:
Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph of order n. A set S⊆V(G) is a perfect dominating set of a graph G if every vertex v∈V(G)−S is adjacent to exactly one vertex in S. That is, every vertex outside S has exactly one neighbor in S. Every graph G has at least the trivial perfect dominating sets consisting of all vertices in G. The perfect domination number γpf(G) is the minimal cardinality of dominating sets in G. Let Dpf(G,i) be the family of perfect dominating sets for a graph G with cardinality i and dpf(G,i)=|Dpf(G,i)|. The perfect domination polynomial of a graph G of order n is Dpf(G,x)=n∑i=γpf(G)dpf(G,i)xn, where dpf(G,i) is the number of perfect dominating sets of G of size i. In this paper, we studied the perfect domination polynomial Dpf(G,x) of homogeneous caterpillar graphs and of full binary trees.
