Dominating sequences in grid-like and toroidal graphs
A longest sequence of distinct vertices of a graph such that each
vertex of dominates some vertex that is not dominated by its preceding
vertices, is called a Grundy dominating sequence; the length of is the
Grundy domination number of . In this paper we study the Grundy domination
number in the four standard graph products: the Cartesian, the lexicographic,
the direct, and the strong product. For each of the products we present a lower
bound for the Grundy domination number which turns out to be exact for the
lexicographic product and is conjectured to be exact for the strong product. In
most of the cases exact Grundy domination numbers are determined for products
of paths and/or cycles.Comment: 17 pages 3 figure
Perfect domination in regular grid graphs
We show there is an uncountable number of parallel total perfect codes in the
integer lattice graph of . In contrast, there is just one
1-perfect code in and one total perfect code in
restricting to total perfect codes of rectangular grid graphs (yielding an
asymmetric, Penrose, tiling of the plane). We characterize all cycle products
with parallel total perfect codes, and the -perfect and
total perfect code partitions of and , the former
having as quotient graph the undirected Cayley graphs of with
generator set . For , generalization for 1-perfect codes is
provided in the integer lattice of and in the products of cycles,
with partition quotient graph taken as the undirected Cayley graph
of with generator set .Comment: 16 pages; 11 figures; accepted for publication in Austral. J. Combi
