Abstract

Let G be a graph without isolated vertices. The total domination number of G is the minimum number of vertices that can dominate all vertices in G, and the paired domination number of G is the minimum number of vertices in a dominating set whose induced subgraph contains a perfect matching. This paper determines the total domination number and the paired domination number of the toroidal meshes, i.e., the Cartesian product of two cycles C n and C m for any n驴3 and m驴{3,4}, and gives some upper bounds for n,m驴5.
