Perfect domination in rectangular grid graphs
Abstract
A dominating set in a graph is said to be perfect if every vertex of not in is adjacent to just one vertex of . Given a vertex subset of a side of an grid graph , the perfect dominating sets in with can be determined via an exhaustive algorithm of running time . Extending to infinite grid graphs of width , periodicity makes the binary decision tree of prunable into a finite threaded tree, a closed walk of which yields all such sets . The graphs induced by the complements of such sets can be codified by arrays of ordered pairs of positive integers via , for the growth and determination of which a speedier %greedy algorithm exists. %and their periodic structure, further studied. A recent characterization of grid graphs having total perfect codes (with just 1-cubes as induced components), due to Klostermeyer and Goldwasser, is given in terms of , which allows to show that these sets are restrictions of only one total perfect code in the integer lattice graph of . Moreover, the complement yields an aperiodic tiling, like the Penrose tiling. In contrast, the parallel, horizontal, total perfect codes in are in 1-1 correspondence with the doubly infinite -sequences.
