Abstract

Given two disjoint copies of a graph G , denoted G 1 and G 2 , and a permutation π of V ( G ) , the graph π G is constructed by joining u V ( G 1 ) to π ( u ) V ( G 2 ) for all u V ( G 1 ) . G is said to be a universal fixer if the domination number of π G is equal to the domination number of G for all π of V ( G ) . In 1999 it was conjectured that the only universal fixers are the edgeless graphs. Since then, a few partial results have been shown. In this paper, we prove the conjecture completely.
