RT journal article T1 Total restrained coalitions in graphs A1 Chellali, M. A1 Golmohammadi, H. A1 Matrokhin, N.A. A1 Takhonov, I. A1 Valenzuela Tripodoro, Juan Carlos A2 Matemáticas K1 Coalition K1 Total restrained coalition K1 Total restrained dominating set AB A vertex set in a graph without isolated vertices is a total restrained dominating set (TRD-set) if it is dominating, induces a subgraph without isolated vertices, and the vertices not in the set also induce a subgraph without isolated vertices. Two vertex sets, which are not TRD-sets, form a total restrained coalition if their union is a TRD-set. A total restrained coalition partition is a partition where none of its elements are TRD-sets, but each forms a total restrained coalition with another element. The goal is to maximize the cardinality of such a partition, denoted C tr (G). We initiate the study of this concept by proving certain properties, extremal values, general bounds, and its relation to known structural parameters. Exact values for specific graph families are also provided.
