In this article we begin the study of the vertex subsets of a graph G which consist of the vertices contained in all, or in no, respectively, minimum dominating sets of G. We characterize these sets for trees, and also obtain results on the vertices contained in all minimum independent dominating se

✦ Synopsis
We prove that for every tree T of order at least 2 and every minimum dominating set D of T which contains at most one endvertex of T , there is an independent dominating set I of T which is disjoint from D. This confirms a recent conjecture of Johnson, Prier, and Walsh.
