The total bondage number $b_t(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal enlarges the total domination number. This paper considers grid graphs. An $(n,m)$-grid graph $G_{n,m}$ is defined as the cartesian product of two paths $P_n$ and $P_m$. This paper determines the exact values of $b_t(G_{n,2})$ and $b_t(G_{n,3})$, and establishes some upper bounds of $b_t(G_{n,4})$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-19T02:45:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C25", "05C40", "05C12", "E.1", "G.2.2" ], "keywords": [ "total bondage number", "grid graph", "total domination number", "minimum number", "removal enlarges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1109.3929H" } } }
