Abstract

If we have graph , an Italian dominating function (IDF) is defined as a mapping satisfying the condition, if  for any vertex  must be have neighbor there is no fewer than 1 vertex    to be   or no fewer than 2 vertices  where  The weight of  a (IDF) is the sum of all these functions for all vertices . And the minimum weight selected from overall (IDF) of  and indicated by

A total Italian dominating function  (TIDF) is an (IDF) if the collection of non-zero elements, each of which is contiguous to at least one non-zero element. A minimum weight of any (TIDF) is referred to as a total Italian domination number indicated by .

We commenced the study of (TIDF) of graph  and the graph can be issued by add a new vertex between every two old vertices in  and draw the edges between every two added vertices provided that there exist common vertex binds them, we called middle graph of . For selected standard graph families. The accurate numerical values of these graph-related parameters were established.

We determined these parameters' exact values.
