Abstract

We prove that the problem of finding two minimum dominating sets (connected dominating sets or clique transversals) with minimum intersection is polynomially solvable on interval graphs. Furthermore, the problem of deciding whether or not there exist two disjoint minimum dominating sets (connected dominating sets or clique transversals) is shown to be NP-hard for chordal graphs.
