Super domination in trees

For $S\subseteq V(G)$, we define $\bar{S}=V(G)\setminus S$. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$iscalledasuperdominatingsetifforeveryvertex$u\in \bar{S}$, there exists $v\in S$ such that $N(v)\cap \bar{S}=\{u\}$. The super domination number ${\gamma }_{sp}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality among all super dominating sets in $G$. The super domination subdivision number $s{d}_{{\gamma }_{sp}}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided in order to increase the super domination number of $G$. In this paper, we investigate the ratios between super domination and other domination parameters in trees. In addition, we show that for any nontrivial tree $T$, $1\le s{d}_{{\gamma }_{sp}}(T)\le 2$, and give constructive characterizations of trees whose super domination subdivision number are $1$ and $2$, respectively.
