In this paper, we continue the study of paired-domination in graphs introduced by Haynes and Slater (1998) Networks 32: 199–206. A paired-dominating set of a graphGwith no isolated vertex is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching. The paired-domination number ofG, denoted by, is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set ofG. LetGbe a connected graph of ordernwith minimum degree at least two. Haynes and Slater (1998) Networks 32: 199–206, showed that ifn≥ 6, then. In this paper, we show that there are exactly ten graphs that achieve equality in this bound. Forn≥ 14, we show thatand we characterize the (infinite family of) graphs that achieve equality in this bound.
