Abstract: Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=su{m}_{i=gamma(G)}^{n}d(G,i)x^i$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$ and $gamma(G)$ is the domination number of $G$. It is conjectured that the domination polynomial of any graph is unimodal. In this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.
