Problem statement
Let be a finite simple connected graph with at least two vertices. Suppose that is triangle-free, meaning contains no three distinct vertices with edges , , and . Suppose further that the size of a largest induced path in is at most . A subset is an induced path if the induced subgraph is a tree in which every vertex has degree at most (equivalently, is a path graph); the size of a largest induced path is the maximum cardinality of such a subset. A graph is well totally dominated if every minimal total dominating set has the same cardinality. Prove that is well totally dominated.
