Say that an edge of a graphGdominates itself and every other edge sharing a vertex of it. An edge dominating set of a graphG= (V,E) is a subset of edgesE′ ⊆Ewhich dominates all edges ofG. In particular, if every edge ofGis dominated by exactly one edge ofE′ thenE′ is a dominating induced matching. It is known that not every graph admits a dominating induced matching, while the problem to decide if it does admit it is NP-complete. In this paper we consider the problems of finding a minimum weighted dominating induced matching, if any, and counting the number of dominating induced matchings of a graph with weighted edges. We describe an exact algorithm for general graphs that runs inO*(1.1939n) time and polynomial (linear) space, for solving these problems. This improves over the existing exact algorithms for the problems in consideration.
