Title
Trees having many minimal dominating sets
Abstract
We disprove a conjecture by Skupien that every tree of order n has at most 2^n^/^2 minimal dominating sets. We construct a family of trees of both parities of the order for which the number of minimal dominating sets exceeds 1.4167^n. We also provide an algorithm for listing all minimal dominating sets of a tree in time O(1.4656^n). This implies that every tree has at most 1.4656^n minimal dominating sets.
