Reducing the domination number of graphs via edge contractions

Abstract

In this paper, we study the following problem: given a connected graph G, can we reduce the domination number of G by at least one using k edge contractions, for some fixed integer k ≥ 0? We present positive and negative results regarding the computational complexity of this problem.
