On the number of minimal forts of a graph

In 2018, a fort of a graph was introduced as a non-empty subset of vertices in which no vertex outside of the set has exactly one neighbor in the set. Since then, forts have been used to characterize zero forcing sets, model the zero forcing number as an integer program, and generate lower bounds on the zero forcing number of a Cartesian product. In this article, we investigate the number of minimal forts of a graph, where a fort is minimal if every proper subset is not a fort. In particular, we show that the number of minimal forts of a graph of order at least six is strictly less than Sperner's bound, a famous bound due to Emanuel Sperner (1928) on the size of a collection of subsets where no subset contains another. Then, we derive an explicit formula for the number of minimal forts for several families of graphs, including the path, cycle, and spider graphs. Moreover, we show that the asymptotic growth rate of the number of minimal forts of the spider graph is bounded above by that of the path graph. We conjecture that the asymptotic growth rate of the path graph is extremal over all trees. Finally, we develop methods for constructing minimal forts of graph products using the minimal forts of the original graphs. In the process, we derive explicit formulas and lower bounds on the number of minimal forts for additional families of graphs, such as the wheel, sunlet, and windmill graphs. Most notably, we show that the family of windmill graphs has an exponential number of minimal forts with a maximum asymptotic growth rate of cube root of three, which is the largest asymptotic growth rate we have observed. We conjecture that there exist families of graphs with a larger asymptotic growth rate.
