The total domination number of $G$, denoted by $\\gamma _t (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of $G$. A near-triangulation is a biconnected planar graph that admits a plane embedding such that all of its faces are triangles except possibly the outer face. We show in this paper that $\\gamma _t (G) \\le \\lfloor \\frac{2n}{5}\\rfloor$ for any near-triangulation $G$ of order $n\\ge 5$, with two exceptions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-09T09:03:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "plane triangulations", "total dominating set", "total domination number", "minimum cardinality", "near-triangulation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
