Connected Domination Critical Graphs with Cut Vertices

A graph G is said to be k- γc-critical if the connected domination number of G, γc(G), is k and γc(G + uv) < k for any pair of non-adjacent vertices u and v of G. Let G be a k-γc-critical graph and ζ (G) the number of cut vertices of G. It was proved, in [1, 6], that, for 3 ≤ k ≤ 4, every k-γc-cr...
