Settling the total domination-annihilation conjecture for graphs with minimum degree two
The total domination number $\gamma_t(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The annihilation number $a(G)$ is the largest integer $k$ for which the sum of the $k$ smallest degrees of $G$ is at most $|E(G)|$. A well-known conjecture,...
