Total domination conjecture for plane triangulations

Let GG be a plane triangulation of order n6n\ge 6. A total dominating set is a subset XV(G)X\subseteq V(G) such that V(G)=xXNG(x)V(G)=\bigcup_{x\in X}N_G(x), and γt(G)\gamma_t(G) denotes the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set.

Total domination conjecture.

γt(G)n3.\gamma_t(G)\le\frac{n}{3}.

This is a domination analogue of the induced-subgraph conjectures discussed in the paper; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
