Abstract
A set S of vertices in a graph G is a paired-dominating set of G if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S and the subgraph induced by S contains a perfect matching. The minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set of G is the paired-domination number of G, denoted by γpr(G). In this work, we present several upper bounds on the paired-domination number interms of the maximum degree, minimum degree, girth and order. Copyright © 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
