Perfect domination in regular grid graphs

We show there is an uncountable number of parallel total perfect codes in the integer lattice graph ${\Lambda}$ of $\R^2$. In contrast, there is just one 1-perfect code in ${\Lambda}$ and one total perfect code in ${\Lambda}$ restricting to total perfect codes of rectangular grid graphs (yielding an asymmetric, Penrose, tiling of the plane). We characterize all cycle products $C_m\times C_n$ with parallel total perfect codes, and the $d$-perfect and total perfect code partitions of ${\Lambda}$ and $C_m\times C_n$, the former having as quotient graph the undirected Cayley graphs of $\Z_{2d^2+2d+1}$ with generator set $\{1,2d^2\}$. For $r>1$, generalization for 1-perfect codes is provided in the integer lattice of $\R^r$ and in the products of $r$ cycles, with partition quotient graph $K_{2r+1}$ taken as the undirected Cayley graph of $\Z_{2r+1}$ with generator set $\{1,...,r\}$.Comment: 16 pages; 11 figures; accepted for publication in Austral.

Some non-existence results for distance-jj ovoids in small generalized polygons

We give a computer-based proof for the non-existence of distance-$2$ ovoids in the dual split Cayley hexagon $\mathsf{H}(4)^D$. Furthermore, we give upper bounds on partial distance-$2$ ovoids of $\mathsf{H}(q)^D$ for $q \in \{2, 4\}$.Comment: 10 page

On subgroup perfect codes in Cayley sum graphs

A perfect code $C$ in a graph $\Gamma$ is an independent set of vertices of $\Gamma$ such that every vertex outside of $C$ is adjacent to a unique vertex in $C$, and a total perfect code $C$ in $\Gamma$ is a set of vertices of $\Gamma$ such that every vertex of $\Gamma$ is adjacent to a unique vertex in $C$. Let $G$ be a finite group and $X$ a normal subset of $G$. The Cayley sum graph $\mathrm{CS}(G,X)$ of $G$ with the connection set $X$ is the graph with vertex set $G$ and two vertices $g$ and $h$ being adjacent if and only if $gh\in X$ and $g\neq h$. In this paper, we give some necessary conditions of a subgroup of a given group being a (total) perfect code in a Cayley sum graph of the group. As applications, the Cayley sum graphs of some families of groups which admit a subgroup as a (total) perfect code are classified
