Abstract

A total Roman dominating function on a graph GG is a function f:V(G){0,1,2}f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,2\} such that every vertex vv with f(v)=0f(v)=0 is adjacent to some vertex uu with f(u)=2f(u)=2, and the subgraph of GG induced by the set of all vertices ww such that f(w)>0f(w)>0 has no isolated vertices. The weight of ff is ΣvV(G)f(v)\Sigma_{v\in V(G)}f(v). The total Roman domination number γtR(G)\gamma_{tR}(G) is the minimum weight of a total Roman dominating function on GG. A graph GG is kk-γtR\gamma _{tR}-edge-critical if γtR(G+e)<γtR(G)=k\gamma_{tR}(G+e)<\gamma_{tR}(G)=k for every edge eE(G)e\in E(\overline{G})\neq\emptyset , and kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-supercritical if it is kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-critical and γtR(G+e)=γtR(G)2\gamma_{tR}(G+e)=\gamma_{tR}(G)-2 for every edge eE(G)e\in E(\overline{G})\neq \emptyset . A graph GG is kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-stable if γtR(G+e)=γtR(G)=k\gamma_{tR}(G+e)=\gamma _{tR}(G)=k for every edge eE(G)e\in E(\overline{G}) or E(G)=E(\overline{G})=\emptyset. For an edge eE(G)e\in E(G) incident with a degree 11 vertex, we define γtR(Ge)=\gamma_{tR}(G-e)=\infty. A graph GG is kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-critical if γtR(Ge)>γtR(G)=k\gamma_{tR}(G-e)>\gamma_{tR}(G)=k for every edge eE(G)e\in E(G), and kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-supercritical if it is kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-critical and γtR(Ge)γtR(G)+2\gamma_{tR}(G-e)\geq\gamma_{tR}(G)+2 for every edge eE(G)e\in E(G). A graph GG is kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-stable if γtR(Ge)=γtR(G)=k\gamma_{tR}(G-e)=\gamma_{tR}(G)=k for every edge eE(G)e\in E(G). We investigate connected γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-supercritical graphs and exhibit infinite classes of such graphs. In addition, we characterize γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-critical and γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-supercritical graphs. Furthermore, we present a connection between kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-supercritical and kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-stable graphs, and similarly between kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-supercritical and kk-γtR\gamma_{tR}-edge-removal-stable graphs.
