Abstract
Let V1, V2 be a partition of the vertex set in a graph G. For i = 1, 2, let γi denote the least number of vertices needed in G to dominate Vi. It is known that if G has order n and minimum degree two, then γ1 + γ2 ≤ 2 n / 3. In this paper, we characterize those graphs of order n which are edge-minimal with respect to satisfying the conditions of connected, minimum degree at least two, and γ1 + γ2 = 2 n / 3.
