Total perfect codes in Cayley graphs

Combinatorics 2018-04-10 v2

Abstract

A total perfect code in a graph Γ\Gamma is a subset CC of V(Γ)V(\Gamma) such that every vertex of Γ\Gamma is adjacent to exactly one vertex in CC. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a conjugation-closed subset of a group to be a total perfect code in a Cayley graph of the group. As an application we show that a Cayley graph on an elementary abelian 22-group admits a total perfect code if and only if its degree is a power of 22. We also obtain necessary conditions for a Cayley graph of a group with connection set closed under conjugation to admit a total perfect code.

Comments

This is the final version published in: Designs, Codes and Cryptography 81 (2016) 489-504. The surname of the first author of [8] in the previous version (which is [7] in this version) was mistakenly spelt as Dejtera. The correct form should be Dejter, and in the present version this typo has been corrected
