초록

Chellai et al. [3] gave an upper bound on the [1, 2]-domination number of tree and posed an open question "how to classify trees satisfying the sharp bound?". Yang and Wu [5] gave a partial solution for tree of order n with ${\ell}$-leaves such that every non-leaf vertex has degree at least 4. In this paper, we give a new upper bound on the [1, 2]-domination number of tree which extends the result of Yang and Wu. In addition, we design a polynomial time algorithm for solving the open question. By using this algorithm, we give a characterization on the [1, 2]-domination number for trees of order n with ${\ell}$ leaves satisfying $n-{\ell}$. Thereby, the open question posed by Chellai et al. is solved.
