Popis: The results of this paper previously appeared as extended abstracts in proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Combinatorial Optimization and Applications, COCOA 2014, and the 27th International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms, IWOCA 2016.; An upper dominating set in a graph is a minimal dominating set of maximum cardinality. The problem of finding an upper dominating set is generally NP-hard. We study the complexity of this problem in finitely defined classes of graphs and conjecture that the problem admits a complexity dichotomy in this family. A helpful tool to study the complexity of an algorithmic problem is the notion of boundary classes. However, none of such classes has been identified so far for the upper dominating set problem. We discover the first boundary class for this problem and prove the dichotomy for monogenic classes.
