Title
Enumerating minimal dominating sets in chordal bipartite graphs
Abstract
We show that all minimal dominating sets of a chordal bipartite graph can be generated in incremental polynomial, hence output polynomial, time. Enumeration of minimal dominating sets in graphs is equivalent to enumeration of minimal transversals in hypergraphs. Whether the minimal transversals of a hypergraph can be enumerated in output polynomial time is a well-studied and challenging question that has been open for several decades. With this result we contribute to the known cases having an affirmative reply to this important question.
