Total domination multisubdivision number of a graph

Abstract

The domination multisubdivision number of a nonempty graph GG was defined as the minimum positive integer kk such that there exists an edge which must be subdivided kk times to increase the domination number of GG. Similarly we define the total domination multisubdivision number msdγt(G)_{\gamma_t}(G) of a graph GG and we show that for any connected graph GG of order at least two, msdγt(G)3._{\gamma_t}(G)\leq 3. We show that for trees the total domination multisubdivision number is equal to the known total domination subdivision number. We also determine the total domination multisubdivision number for some classes of graphs and characterize trees TT with msdγt(T)=1_{\gamma_t}(T)=1.
