Abstract

Let  be a simple, finite and undirected graph and without isolated vertex. A subset D of V is said to be dominating set if for every  in  there exist a vertex  in  such that  and  are adjacent. The minimum cardinality of a dominating set of  is called the domination number of  and is denoted by .  is minimal dominating set of a graph  if no proper subset of  is a dominating set of .  is a total dominating set of  if  has no isolates. The minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of  is called the total domination number of  and is denoted by . A Subset D of V  is said to be a chromatic total dominating set if D is a total dominating set and  =. The minimum cardinality of the chromatic total dominating set is called a chromatic total dominating number .In any graph G ,every chromatic total dominating set is a total dominating set.But converse is not true.In some graphs ,every  set is a chromatic total dominating set.
