Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Minimum Independent Dominating Set problem and develop exact exponential algorithms that break the trivial O(2|V |) bound. A simple $O^{*}({\sqrt{3}}^{|V|})$ time algorithm is developed to solve this problem on general graphs. For sparse graphs, e.g. graphs with degree bounded by 3 and 4, we show that a few new branching techniques can be applied to these graphs and the resulting algorithms have time complexities O*(20.465|V |) and O*(20.620|V |), respectively. All our algorithms only need polynomial space.
