Notes on efficient dominating sets and efficient open dominating sets in circulant graphs
Abstract
Let D be a proper subset of ℤn such that |D| divides n and is relatively prime to n/|D|. We first establish a necessary and sufficient condition for D to be an efficient dominating set of some circulant graph Cay(ℤn,S). Moreover, for an inverse-closed subset S of ℤn∖{0} such that |S|+1 divides n and is relatively prime to n/(|S|+1), we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of efficient dominating sets in Cay(ℤn,S). We also obtain some results about the set of all efficient dominating sets in any circulant graph. Similar results for efficient open dominating sets are also obtained. These results extend some theorems in [Discrete Math. 340 (2017) 1503--1507], [Discrete Math. 340 (2017) 1522--1527], and [Des. Codes Cryptogr. 94 (2026), 87].
