On an open problem concerning total domination critical graphs

A graph G   with no isolated vertex is total domination vertex critical if for any vertex v$v$ of G   that is not adjacent to a vertex of degree one, the total domination number of G-v$G-v$ is less than the total domination number of G  . We call these graphs _γt${\gamma }_t$-critical. If such a graph G has total domination number k, we call it k  -_γt${\gamma }_t$-critical. We verify an open problem of k  -_γt${\gamma }_t$-critical graphs and obtain some results on the characterization of total domination critical graphs of order n=Δ(G)(_γt(G)-1)+1$n=\Delta (G)({\gamma }_t(G)-1)+1$.
