contents The domination problem and its variants represent a classical domain within algorithmic graph theory. Among these variants, the paired-domination problem holds particular prominence due to its real-world implications in security and surveillance domains. Given an input graph $G$, the paired-domination problem involves identifying a minimum dominating set $D$ that induces a subgraph of $G$ with a perfect matching. Lin et al.~[\emph{Paired-domination problem on distance-hereditary graphs}, Algorithmica, 2020] previously presented a solution to this problem with a time complexity of $O(n^2)$. This paper significantly enhances their findings by introducing an $O(n+m)$-time algorithm. Furthermore, the time complexity of this algorithm can be reduced to $O(n)$ when provided with a decomposition tree for the graph $G$.
