Abstract
For a graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V(G) is a total restrained dominating set if it is a dominating set and both ⟨D ⟩ and ⟨V(G)−D⟩ do not have isolated vertices. The cardinality of a minimum total restrained dominating set in G is the total restrained domination number. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a restrained dominating set if it is a dominating set and ⟨V(G)−D ⟩ does not contain an isolated vertex. The cardinality of a minimum restrained dominating set in G is the restrained domination number. We characterize all trees for which total restrained and restrained domination numbers are equal.Keywords: total restrained domination number, restrained domination number, trees.
