Abstract
For a graph [Formula: see text] with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text], a subset [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the total edge dominating set if every edge in [Formula: see text] is adjacent to at least one edge in [Formula: see text]. The minimum cardinality of a total edge dominated set, denoted by [Formula: see text], is called the total edge domination number of a graph [Formula: see text]. We prove that for every tree [Formula: see text] of diameter at least two with [Formula: see text] leaves and [Formula: see text] support vertices we have [Formula: see text], and we characterize the trees attaining each of the bounds.
