Finding Efficient Domination for $S_{1,1,5}$-Free Bipartite Graphs in Polynomial Time
(2010.16076)Abstract
A vertex set $D$ in a finite undirected graph $G$ is an {\em efficient dominating set} (e.d.s.\ for short) of $G$ if every vertex of $G$ is dominated by exactly one vertex of $D$. The \emph{Efficient Domination} (ED) problem, which asks for the existence of an e.d.s.\ in $G$, is \NP-complete for various $H$-free bipartite graphs, e.g., Lu and Tang showed that ED is \NP-complete for chordal bipartite graphs and for planar bipartite graphs; actually, ED is \NP-complete even for planar bipartite graphs with vertex degree at most 3 and girth at least $g$ for every fixed $g$. Thus, ED is \NP-complete for $K{1,4}$-free bipartite graphs and for $C4$-free bipartite graphs. In this paper, we show that ED can be solved in polynomial time for $S_{1,1,5}$-free bipartite graphs.
