Summary: In a finite undirected graph \(G=(V,E)\), a vertex \(v\in V\) dominates itself and its neighbors in \(G\). A vertex set \(D\subseteq V\) is an efficient dominating set (e.d.s. for short) of \(G\) if every \(v\in V\) is dominated in \(G\) by exactly one vertex of \(D\).{ } The Efficient Domination (ED) problem, which asks for the existence of an e.d.s. in \(G\), is known to be \(\mathbb{NP}\)-complete for bipartite graphs, for (very special) chordal graphs and for line graphs but solvable in polynomial time for many subclasses. For \(H\)-free graphs, a dichotomy of the complexity of ED has been reached.{ } An edge set \(M\subseteq E\) is an efficient edge dominating set (e.e.d.s. for short) of \(G\) if every \(e\in E\) is dominated in \(G\) by exactly one edge of \(M\) with respect to the line graph \(L(G)\). Thus, \(M\) is an e.e.d.s. in \(G\) if and only if \(M\) is an e.d.s. in \(L(G)\). An e.e.d.s. is called dominating induced matching in various papers.{ } The Efficient Edge Domination (EED) problem, which asks for the existence of an e.e.d.s. in \(G\), is known to be \(\mathbb{NP}\)-complete even for special bipartite graphs but solvable in polynomial time for various graph classes. The problems ED and EED are based on the \(\mathbb{NP}\)-complete Exact Cover problem on hypergraphs.
