contents We introduce a new framework of counting problems called #GDS that encompasses #$(σ, ρ)$-Set, a class of domination-type problems that includes counting dominating sets and counting total dominating sets. We explore the intricate relation between #GDS and the well-known Holant. We adapt the technique of gadget construction of Holant to the #GDS framework; using this technique, we prove the #P-completeness of counting dominating sets for 3-regular planar bipartite simple graphs. Through a generalization of a Holant dichotomy, and a special reduction method via symmetric bipartite graphs, we also prove the #P-completeness of counting total dominating sets for the same graph class.
