Abstract

Given a graph class G, it is natural to ask (i) whether a given graph G has a connected or a total dominating set whose induced subgraph is a member of G and (ii) whether G has such a set of cardinality at most a given threshold. We give sufficient conditions on G under which these two problems are NP-hard. This condition is fulfilled in a wide variety of classes of graphs.
