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∖C is adjacent to exactly one vertex in C. A subgroup H of a group G is called a subgroup perfect code of G if there exists a Cayley graph of G which admits H as a perfect code. Equivalently, H is a subgroup perfect code of G if there exists an inverse-closed subset A of G containing the identity element such that (A,H) is a tiling of G in the sense that every element of G can be uniquely expressed as the product of an element of A and an element of H. In this paper we obtain multiple results on subgroup perfect codes of finite groups, including a few necessary and sufficient..
