Abstract

We study the independent dominating set problem restricted to graph classes defined by finitely many forbidden induced subgraphs. The main result is two sufficient conditions for the problem to be NP-hard in a finitely defined class of graphs. We conjecture that those conditions are also necessary and describe several classes of graphs verifying the conjecture.
