Abstract

A total dominator coloring of a graph GG is a proper coloring of GG in which each vertex of the graph is adjacent to every vertex of some color class. The total dominator chromatic number χdt(G)\chi_d^t(G) of GG is the minimum number of color classes in a total dominator coloring of it. In [Total dominator chromatic number of a graph, submitted] the author initialed to study this number in graphs and obtained some important results. Here, we continue it in Mycieleskian graphs. We show that the total dominator chromatic number of the Mycieleskian of a graph GG belongs to between χdt(G)+1\chi_d^t(G)+1 and χdt(G)+2\chi_d^t(G)+2, and then characterize the family of graphs the their total dominator chromatic numbers are each of them.
