Abstract :
in this paper, we initiate the study of total outer-convex domination as a new variant of graph domination and we show the close relationship that exists between this novel parameter and other domination parameters of a graph such as total domination, convex domination, and outerc-onvex domination. furthermore, we obtain general bounds of total outer-convex domination number and, for some particular families of graphs, we obtain closed formulas.
