Abstract

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a paired-dominating set of G if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S and if the subgraph induced by S contains a perfect matching. We characterize the set of vertices of a tree that are contained in all, or in no, minimum paired-dominating sets of the tree.
