In this paper we initiate the study of total restrained domination in graphs. Let G = ( V , E ) be a graph. A total restrained dominating set is a set S V where every vertex in V - S is adjacent to a vertex in S as well as to another vertex in V - S , and every vertex in S is adjacent to another vertex in S . The total restrained domination number of G , denoted by γ r t ( G ) , is the smallest cardinality of a total restrained dominating set of G . First, some exact values and sharp bounds for γ r t ( G ) are given in Section 2. Then the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results for total restrained domination number are established in Section 3. Finally, we show that the decision problem for γ r t ( G ) is NP-complete even for bipartite and chordal graphs in Section 4.
