Perfect codes in Cayley graphs of abelian groups

Abstract

A perfect code in a graph $Γ= (V, E)$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ such that no two vertices in $C$ are adjacent and every vertex in $V \setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. A total perfect code in $Γ$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ such that every vertex of $Γ$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. In this paper we prove several results on perfect codes and total perfect codes in Cayley graphs of finite abelian groups.
