Total Domination in Graphs [electronic resource] /
Henning, Michael A.author.
Yeo, Anders.author.
Total Domination in Graphs gives a clear understanding  of this topic to any interested reader who has a modest background in graph theory. This book provides and explores the fundamentals of total domination in graphs. Some of the topics featured include the interplay between total domination in graphs and transversals in hypergraphs, and the association with total domination in graphs and diameter-2-critical graphs. Several proofs are included in this text which enables readers to acquaint themselves with a toolbox of proof techniques and ideas with which to attack open problems in the field. This work is  an excellent resource for students interested in beginning their research in this field.  Additionally, established researchers will find the book valuable to have as it contains the latest developments and open problems.
