Abstract:
      The total chromatic number $\chi_{t}(G)$ of a graph $G(V,E)$ is the minimum number of total independent partition sets of $V \bigcup E$, satisfying that any two sets have no common element. If the difference of the numbers of any two total independent partition sets of $V \bigcup E$ is no more than one, then the minimum number of total independent partition sets of $V \bigcup E$ is called the equitable total chromatic number of $G$, denoted by $\chi_{et}(G)$. In this paper, we have obtained the equitable total chromatic number of $W_m \bigvee K_n$, $F_m \bigvee K_n$ and $S_m \bigvee K_n$ while $m \geq n \geq 3$.
