Nordhaus-Gaddum Type Results for Total Domination

A Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result is a (tight) lower or upper bound on the sum or product of a parameter of a graph and its complement. In this paper we study Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results for total domination. We examine the sum and product of γt(G1) and γt(G2) where G1 ⊕G2 = K(s, s), and γt is the total domination number. We show that the maximum value of the sum of the total domination numbers ofG1 andG2 is 2s+4, with equality if and only if G1 = sK2 or G2 = sK2, while the maximum value of the product of the total domination numbers of G1 and G2 is max{8s, b(s+ 6)/4c}.
