  • Abstract
    A general characterization of connected graphs on n vertices having the maximum possible independent domination number of ⌊n+2−2n⌋ is given. This result leads to a structural characterization of such graphs in all but a small finite number of cases. For certain situations, one of which occurs when n is a perfect square, the extremal graphs have a particularly simple structure.
