A perfect code in a graph $\Gamma$ is a subset $C$ of the vertex set of $\Gamma$ such that every vertex of $\Gamma$ outside $C$ has exactly one neighbour in $C$. A perfect code in a directed graph can be defined similarly by requiring that…

The Galois ring GR$(4^\Delta)$ is the residue ring $Z_4[x]/(h(x))$, where $h(x)$ is a basic primitive polynomial of degree $\Delta$ over $Z_4$. For any odd $\Delta$ larger than $1$, we construct a partition of GR$(4^\Delta) \backslash…

The maximum independent sets in the Doob graphs D(m,n) are analogs of the distance-2 MDS codes in Hamming graphs and of the latin hypercubes. We prove the characterization of these sets stating that every such set is semilinear or…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $(k,k')$-choosable if for any total list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and assigns to each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers, there is a mapping…

The Star graph $S_n$ is the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $Sym_n$ with the generating set $\{(1\mbox{ }i): 2\leq i\leq n \}$. Arumugam and Kala proved that $\{\pi\in Sym_n: \pi(1)=1\}$ is a perfect code in $S_n$ for any $n, n\geq 3$.…

In this paper we obtain the necessary condition for the existence of perfect $k$-colorings (equitable $k$-partitions) in Hamming graphs $H(n,q)$, where $q=2,3,4$ and Doob graphs $D(m,n)$. As an application, we prove the non-existence of…

The Doob scheme $D(m,n'+n'')$ is a metric association scheme defined on $E_4^m \times F_4^{n'}\times Z_4^{n''}$, where $E_4=GR(4^2)$ or, alternatively, on $Z_4^{2m} \times Z_2^{2n'} \times Z_4^{n''}$. We prove the MacWilliams identities…
