Title
Paired-domination number of claw-free odd-regular graphs.
Abstract
A paired-dominating set of a graph G is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching, while the paired-domination number is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set in the graph, denoted by $$\\gamma _{pr}(G)$$źpr(G). Let G be a connected $$\\{K_{1,3}, K_{4}-e\\}$${K1,3,K4-e}-free cubic graph of order n. We show that $$\\gamma _{pr}(G)\\le \\frac{10n+6}{27}$$źpr(G)≤10n+627 if G is $$C_{4}$$C4-free and that $$\\gamma _{pr}(G)\\le \\frac{n}{3}+\\frac{n+6}{9(\\lceil \\frac{3}{4}(g_o+1)\\rceil +1)}$$źpr(G)≤n3+n+69(ź34(go+1)ź+1) if G is $$\\{C_{4}, C_{6}, C_{10}, \\ldots , C_{2g_o}\\}$${C4,C6,C10,ź,C2go}-free for an odd integer $$g_o\\ge 3$$goź3; the extremal graphs are characterized; we also show that if G is a 2 -connected, $$\\gamma _{pr}(G) = \\frac{n}{3} $$źpr(G)=n3. Furthermore, if G is a connected $$(2k+1)$$(2k+1)-regular $$\\{K_{1,3}, K_4-e\\}$${K1,3,K4-e}-free graph of order n, then $$\\gamma _{pr}(G)\\le \\frac{n}{k+1} $$źpr(G)≤nk+1, with equality if and only if $$G=L(F)$$G=L(F), where $$F\\cong K_{1, 2k+2}$$FźK1,2k+2, or k is even and $$F\\cong K_{k+1,k+2}$$FźKk+1,k+2.
