The disjoint domination number with a perfect matching is bounded by independence number

From papers

Let GG be a connected graph containing a swap set. Let DDm(G)DD_{\operatorname{m}}(G) denote the minimum size of a disjoint dominating set whose two parts are joined by a perfect matching, and let α(G)\alpha(G) be the independence number of GG. Disjoint-domination independence conjecture.

DDm(G)α(G).DD_{\operatorname{m}}(G)\leq\alpha(G).

The conjecture asserts the existence of a desired matching between two disjoint dominating sets whose total size is controlled by the independence number. The supplied text does not state whether this conjecture has been resolved.
