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…

Given a finite group $G$ with identity $e$ and a normal subgroup $H$ of $G$, the subgroup sum graph $\Gamma_{G,H}$ (resp. extended subgroup sum graph $\Gamma_{G,H}^+$) of $G$ with respect to $H$ is the graph with vertex set $G$, in which…

A perfect code in a graph $\Gamma = (V, E)$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ that is an independent set such that every vertex in $V \setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. A total perfect code in $\Gamma$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ such…

A subset \( C \) of the vertex set \( V \) of a graph \( \Gamma = (V,E) \) is termed an $(r,s)$-regular set if each vertex in \( C \) is adjacent to exactly \( r \) other vertices in \( C \), while each vertex not in \( C \) is adjacent to…

A subset $C$ of the vertex set of a graph $\Gamma$ is said to be $(\alpha,\beta)$-regular if $C$ induces an $\alpha$-regular subgraph and every vertex outside $C$ is adjacent to exactly $\beta$ vertices in $C$. In particular, if $C$ is an…
