A total Roman dominating function on a graph G is a labeling f : V (G) → 0, 1, 2 such that every vertex with label 0 has a neighbor with label 2 and the subgraph of G induced by the set of all vertices of positive weight has no isolated vertex. The minimum weight of a total Roman dominating function on a graph G is called the total Roman domination number of G. The total Roman reinforcement number rtR(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of edges that must be added to G in order to decrease the total Roman domination number. In this paper, we investigate the proper- ties of total Roman reinforcement number in graphs, and we present some sharp bounds for rtR(G). Moreover, we show that the decision problem for total Roman reinforcement is NP-hard for bipartite graphs.
