Abstract

A graph is well-dominated if all its minimal dominating sets have the same cardinality. In this paper we prove that at least one factor of every connected, well-dominated Cartesian product is a complete graph, which then allows us to give a complete characterization of the connected, well-dominated Cartesian products if both factors have order at least 2. In particular, we show that G \Box H is well-dominated if and only if G \Box H = P3 \Box K3 or G \Box H= Kn \Box Kn for some n≥ 2.
