Coalition graphs of connected domination partitions in subcubic graphs

A graph is subcubic if it is connected and its maximum vertex degree does not exceed 3. Two disjoint vertex subsets of a graph $G$ form a connected coalition in $G$ if neither of them is a connected dominating set but their union is a connected dominating set. A connected coalition partition of $G$ is a partition of its vertices $π(G) = \{V_1, V_2,..., V_k \}$, such that each $V_i$ is either a connected dominating set consisting of a single vertex or forms a coalition with some set of $π(G)$. The formation of connected coalitions is described by a coalition graph whose vertices correspond to the sets of $π$, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding sets form a coalition in $G$. We characterize all coalition graphs of subcubic graphs.

Abstract

A graph is subcubic if it is connected and its maximum vertex degree does not exceed 3. Two disjoint vertex subsets of a graph $G$ form a connected coalition in $G$ if neither of them is a connected dominating set but their union is a connected dominating set. A connected coalition partition of $G$ is a partition of its vertices $π(G) = \{V_1, V_2,..., V_k \}$, such that each $V_i$ is either a connected dominating set consisting of a single vertex or forms a coalition with some set of $π(G)$. The formation of connected coalitions is described by a coalition graph whose vertices correspond to the sets of $π$, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding sets form a coalition in $G$. We characterize all coalition graphs of subcubic graphs.
