Abstract

A paired-dominating set of a graph G is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching. The paired-domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set of G, and is obviously bounded below by the domination number of G. We give a constructive characterization of the trees with equal domination and paired-domination numbers.
