In this paper, we investigate the problem of covering the vertices of a graph associated to a finite vector space as introduced by Das \cite{Das}, such that we can uniquely identify any vertex by examining the vertices that cover it. We use…
Lee codes have been intensively studied for more than 40 years. Interest in these codes has been triggered by the Golomb-Welch conjecture on the existence of the perfect error-correcting Lee codes. In this paper we deal with the existence…
Let $0<\ell\in\mathbb{Z}$. The notion of an efficient dominating set or perfect code $S$ of a graph $G$ is generalized to that of an efficient dominating$\,^\ell$-set or perfect$^\ell$code, of the graph $G$, meaning that each vertex $v$ of…
The power dominating set (PDS) problem is the following extension of the well-known dominating set problem: find a smallest-size set of nodes $S$ that power dominates all the nodes, where a node $v$ is power dominated if (1) $v$ is in $S$…
The Lloyd Theorem of (Sol\'e, 1989) is combined with the Schwartz-Zippel Lemma of theoretical computer science to derive non-existence results for perfect codes in the Lee metric, NRT metric, mixed Hamming metric, and for the sum-rank…
A well known conjecture of Golomb and Welch is that the only nontrivial perfect codes in the Lee and Manhattan metrics have length two or minimum distance three. This problem and related topics were subject for extensive research in the…
Using dominating sets to separate vertices of graphs is a well-studied problem in the larger domain of identification problems. In such problems, the objective is to choose a suitable dominating set $C$ of a graph $G$ which is also…

Information set decoding (ISD) algorithms are the best known procedures to solve the decoding problem for general linear codes. These algorithms are hence used for codes without a visible structure, or for which efficient decoders…
A construction of 2-quasi-perfect Lee codes is given over the space $\mathbb Z_p^n$ for $p$ prime, $p\equiv \pm 5\pmod{12}$ and $n=2[\frac{p}{4}]$. It is known that there are infinitely many such primes. Golomb and Welch conjectured that…
In 1968, Golomb and Welch conjectured that there is no perfect Lee codes with radius $r\ge2$ and dimension $n\ge3$. A diameter perfect code is a natural generalization of the perfect code. In 2011, Etzion (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory,…
We introduce a hierarchy of problems between the \textsc{Dominating Set} problem and the \textsc{Power Dominating Set} (PDS) problem called the $\ell$-round power dominating set ($\ell$-round PDS, for short) problem. For $\ell=1$, this is…
Golomb and Welch conjectured in 1970 that there only exist perfect Lee codes for radius $t=1$ or dimension $n=1, 2$. It is admitted that the existence and the construction of quasi-perfect Lee codes have to be studied since they are the…
We show there is an uncountable number of parallel total perfect codes in the integer lattice graph ${\Lambda}$ of $\R^2$. In contrast, there is just one 1-perfect code in ${\Lambda}$ and one total perfect code in ${\Lambda}$ restricting to…
We introduce a new framework of counting problems called #GDS that encompasses #$(\sigma, \rho)$-Set, a class of domination-type problems that includes counting dominating sets and counting total dominating sets. We explore the intricate…
MDS codes have diverse practical applications in communication systems, data storage, and quantum codes due to their algebraic properties and optimal error-correcting capability. In this paper, we focus on a class of linear codes and…
In this paper, we study the minimum dominating set (MDS) problem and the minimum total dominating set MTDS) problem which have many applications in real world. We propose a new idea to compute approximate MDS and MTDS. Next, we give an…
A linked system of symmetric designs (LSSD) is a $w$-partite graph ($w\geq 2$) where the incidence between any two parts corresponds to a symmetric design and the designs arising from three parts are related. The original construction for…
A dominating set $S$ in a graph $G$ is said to be perfect if every vertex of $G$ not in $S$ is adjacent to just one vertex of $S$. Given a vertex subset $S'$ of a side $P_m$ of an $m\times n$ grid graph $G$, the perfect dominating sets $S$…
A dominating set $S$ of a graph $G$ is called locating-dominating, LD-set for short, if every vertex $v$ not in $S$ is uniquely determined by the set of neighbors of $v$ belonging to $S$. Locating-dominating sets of minimum cardinality are…
