A setSof vertices in a graphGis a paired-dominating set ofGif every vertex ofGis adjacent to some vertex inSand if the subgraph induced byScontains a perfect matching. The maximum cardinality of a minimal paired-dominating set ofGis the upper paired-domination number ofG, denoted by Γpr(G). We establish bounds on Γpr(G) for connected claw-free graphsGin terms of the numbernof vertices inGwith given minimum degreeδ. We show that Γpr(G)≤4n/5 ifδ=1 andn≥3, Γpr(G)≤3n/4 ifδ=2 andn≥6, and Γpr(G)≤2n/3 ifδ≥3. All these bounds are sharp. Further, ifn≥6 the graphsGachieving the bound Γpr(G)=4n/5 are characterized, while forn≥9 the graphsGwithδ=2 achieving the bound Γpr(G)=3n/4 are characterized.
