A NOTE ON DOMINATION IN BIPARTITE GRAPHS

Abstract

DOMINATING SET remains NP-complete even when instances are restricted to bipartite graphs, however, in this case VERTEX COVER is solvable in polynomial time. Consequences to VECTOR DOMINATING SET as a generalization of both are discussed.

Keywords: bipartite graph, domination.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C35.
