摘要
A graph G is dot-critical if contracting any edge decreases the domination number. It is totally dot-critical if identifying any two vertices decreases the domination number. Burton and Sumner [Discrete Math. 306 (2006) 11-18] posed the problem: Is it true that for k >= 4, there exists a totally k-dot-critical graph with no critical vertices? In this paper, we show that this problem has a positive answer. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
