Perfect codes in circulant graphs. (English) Zbl 1361.05129

Summary: A perfect code in a graph \(\varGamma = (V, E)\) 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 \(\varGamma\) is a subset \(C\) of \(V\) such that every vertex of \(V\) is adjacent to exactly one vertex in \(C\). A perfect code in the Hamming graph \(H(n, q)\) agrees with a \(q\)-ary perfect 1-code of length \(n\) in the classical setting. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a circulant graph of degree \(p - 1\) to admit a perfect code, where \(p\) is an odd prime. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a circulant graph of order \(n\) and degree \(p^l - 1\) to have a perfect code, where \(p\) is a prime and \(p^l\) the largest power of \(p\) dividing \(n\). Similar results for total perfect codes are also obtained in the paper.
