A dominating set of $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ so that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=\\sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. In this paper we show that cycles are determined by their domination polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-08-23T14:40:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C38", "05C69" ], "keywords": [ "domination polynomial", "dominating set", "simple graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0908.3305A" } } }
