Abstract

The {\em Fibonacci cube} of dimension nn, denoted as Γ_n\Gamma\_n, is the subgraph of the nn-cube Q_nQ\_n induced by vertices with no consecutive 1's. In an article of 2016 Ashrafi and his co-authors proved the non-existence of perfect codes in Γ_n\Gamma\_n for n4n\geq 4. As an open problem the authors suggest to consider the existence of perfect codes in generalization of Fibonacci cubes. The most direct generalization is the family Γ_n(1s)\Gamma\_n(1^s) of subgraphs induced by strings without 1s1^s as a substring where s2s\geq 2 is a given integer. We prove the existence of a perfect code in Γ_n(1s)\Gamma\_n(1^s) for n=2p1n=2^p-1 and s3.2p2s \geq 3.2^{p-2} for any integer p2p\geq 2.
