Partitioning the vertex set of $G$ to make $G\,\Box\, H$ an efficient open domination graph

Abstract

A graph is an efficient open domination graph if there exists a subset of vertices whose open neighborhoods partition its vertex set. We characterize those graphs GG for which the Cartesian product GHG \Box H is an efficient open domination graph when HH is a complete graph of order at least 3 or a complete bipartite graph. The characterization is based on the existence of a certain type of weak partition of V(G)V(G). For the class of trees when HH is complete of order at least 3, the characterization is constructive. In addition, a special type of efficient open domination graph is characterized among Cartesian products GHG \Box H when HH is a 5-cycle or a 4-cycle.
