Abstract
In this paper, we extend the findings of recent studies on k-rainbow total domination by placing our focus on its computational complexity aspects. We show that the problem of determining whether a graph has a 2-rainbow total dominating function of a given weight is NP-complete. This complexity result holds even when restricted to planar graphs. Along the way tight bounds for the k-rainbow total domination number of rooted product graphs are established. In addition, we obtain the closed formula for the k-rainbow total domination number of the corona product \(G*H\), provided that H has enough vertices.
