Using edge contractions to reduce the semitotal domination number
Theoretical Computer Science(2023)
摘要
In this paper, we consider the problem of reducing the semitotal domination number of a given graph by contracting k edges, for some fixed k≥1. We show that this can always be done with at most 3 edge contractions and further characterise those graphs requiring 1, 2 or 3 edge contractions, respectively, to decrease their semitotal domination number. We then study the complexity of the problem for k=1 and obtain in particular a complete complexity dichotomy for monogenic classes.
