Abstract: A graph is subcubic if it is connected and its maximum vertex degree does not exceed 3. Two disjoint vertex subsets of a graph G form a connected coalition in G if neither of them is a connected dominating set but their union is a connected dominating set. A connected coalition partition of G is a partition of its vertices π(G), such that each set of π(G) is either a connected dominating set consisting of a single vertex or forms a coalition with some set of π(G). The formation of connected coalitions is described by a coalition graph whose vertices correspond to the sets of π, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding sets form a coalition in G. We characterize all coalition graphs of subcubic graphs.
