Abstract
A graph G is called P4-free, if G does not contain an induced
subgraph P4. The domination polynomial of a graph G of order n is
the polynomial D(G, x) =
P
n
i=1
d(G, i)xi, where d(G, i) is the number of
dominating sets of G of size i. Every root of D(G, x) is called a domination
root of G. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination
polynomial of non P4-free graphs. Also, we pose a conjecture about
domination roots of these kind of graphs.
