Abstract:
Let
$G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph of order
$n$. A set
$S \subseteq V(G)$ is a perfect dominating set of a graph
$G$ if every vertex
$v\in V(G)-S$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in
$S$. That is, every vertex outside
$S$ has exactly one neighbor in
$S$. Every graph
$G$ has at least the trivial perfect dominating sets consisting of all vertices in
$G$. The perfect domination number
$\gamma_{pf} (G)$ is the minimal cardinality of dominating sets in
$G$. Let
$D_{pf} (G,i)$ be the family of perfect dominating sets for a graph
$G$ with cardinality
$i$ and
$d_{pf} (G,i)= |D_{pf} (G,i)|$. The perfect domination polynomial of a graph
$G$ of order
$n$ is
$$ D_{pf} (G,x)=\sum_{i=\gamma_{pf}(G)}^{n} d_{pf}(G,i)x^n, $$
where
$d_{pf} (G,i)$ is the number of perfect dominating sets of
$G$ of size
$i$. In this paper, we studied the perfect domination polynomial
$D_{pf} (G,x)$ of homogeneous caterpillar graphs and of full binary trees.
