Abstract

For a graph G,G, we consider DV(G)D \subset V(G) to be a porous exponential dominating set if 1dD1\le \sum_{d \in D} (12)dist(d,v)1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\text{dist}(d,v) -1} for every vV(G),v \in V(G), where dist(d,v)(d,v) denotes the length of the smallest dvdv path. Similarly, DV(G)D \subset V(G) is a non-porous exponential dominating set is 1dD(12)dist(d,v)11\le \sum_{d \in D} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\overline{\text{dist}}(d,v) -1} for every vV(G),v \in V(G), where dist(d,v)\overline{\text{dist}}(d,v) represents the length of the shortest dvdv path with no internal vertices in D.D. The porous and non-porous exponential dominating number of G,G, denoted γe(G)\gamma_e^*(G) and γe(G),\gamma_e(G), are the minimum cardinality of a porous and non-porous exponential dominating set, respectively. The consecutive circulant graph, Cn,[],C_{n, [\ell]}, is the set of nn vertices such that vertex vv is adjacent to v±imodnv \pm i \mod n for each i[].i \in [\ell]. In this paper we show γe(Cn,[])=γe(Cn,[])=n3+1.\gamma_e(C_{n, [\ell]}) = \gamma_e^*(C_{n, [\ell]}) = \left\lceil \tfrac{n}{3\ell +1} \right\rceil.
