Abstract

‎‎In this paper‎, ‎we define the common minimal dominating signed‎ ‎graph of a given signed graph and offer a structural‎ ‎characterization of common minimal dominating signed graphs‎. ‎In‎ ‎the sequel‎, ‎we also obtained switching equivalence ‎characterizations‎: ‎$\overline{S} \sim CMD(S)$ and $CMD(S) \sim‎ ‎N(S)$‎, ‎where $\overline{S}$‎, ‎$CMD(S)$ and $N(S)$ are complementary‎ ‎signed graph‎, ‎common minimal signed graph and neighborhood signed‎ ‎graph of $S$ respectively‎.
