On exponential domination of the consecutive circulant graph

For a graph $G,$ we consider $D subset V(G)$ to be a porous exponential dominating set if $1le sum_{d in D}$ $left( frac{1}{2} right)^{text{dist}(d,v) -1}$ for every $v in V(G),$ where dist$(d,v)$ denotes the length of the smallest $dv$ path. Similarly, $D subset V(G)$ is a non-porous exponential dominating set is $1le sum_{d in D} left( frac{1}{2} right)^{overline{text{dist}}(d,v) -1}$ for every $v in V(G),$ where $overline{text{dist}}(d,v)$ represents the length of the shortest $dv$ path with no internal vertices in $D.$ The porous and non-porous exponential dominating number of $G,$ denoted $gamma_e^*(G)$ and $gamma_e(G),$ are the minimum cardinality of a porous and non-porous exponential dominating set, respectively. The consecutive circulant graph, $C_{n, [ell]},$ is the set of $n$ vertices such that vertex $v$ is adjacent to $v pm i mod n$ for each $i in [ell].$ In this paper we show $gamma_e(C_{n, [ell]}) = gamma_e^*(C_{n, [ell]}) = leftlceil tfrac{n}{3ell +1} rightrceil.$
