Abstract

A total dominator coloring of a graph \(G\) with \(\delta(G) \geq 1\) is a proper coloring of \(G\) with the extra property that every vertex in \(G\) properly dominates a color class. The total dominator chromatic number of \(G\) is the minimum number of colors needed in a total dominator coloring of \(G\), denoted by \(\chi_{t d}(G)\). In this paper, we obtain total dominator chromatic number of \(P_m \times C_n\).

Keywords:

Total dominator chromatic number, ladder graph, grid graph and \(P_m \times C_n\)
