N2 - Given a graph G=(V,E), a set (Formula presented) is called a matching in G if no two edges in M share a common vertex. A matching M in G is called an induced matching if G[M], the subgraph of G induced by M, is same as G[S], the subgraph of G induced by S={v ∈V| v is incident on an edge of M}. An induced matching M in a graph G is dominating if every edge not in M shares exactly one of its endpoints with a matched edge. The dominating induced matching (DIM) problem (also known as Efficient Edge Domination) is a decision problem that asks whether a graph G contains a dominating induced matching or not. This problem is NP-complete for general graphs as well as for bipartite graphs. In this paper, we show that the DIM problem is NP-complete for perfect elimination bipartite graphs and propose polynomial time algorithms for star-convex, triad-convex and circular-convex bipartite graphs which are subclasses of bipartite graphs.
