Popis: Given a graph $G$, a subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is an efficient dominating set ($EDS$) if $|N[v] \cap S|=1,$ for all $v\in V(G)$. A graph $G$ is efficiently dominatable if it possesses an $EDS$. The efficient domination number of G is denoted by F(G) and is defined to be $\max \left\{\sum_{v \in S}(1 + \operatorname{deg} v):\right.$ $\left.S \subseteq V(G)\right.$ and $\left.|N[x] \cap S| \leq 1, \forall~ x \in V(G)\right\}$. In general, not every graph is efficiently dominatable. Further, the class of efficiently dominatable graphs has not been completely characterized and the problem of determining whether or not a graph is efficiently dominatable is NP-Complete. Hence, interest is shown to study the efficient domination property for graphs under restricted conditions or special classes of graphs. In this paper, we study the notion of efficient domination in some Lattice graphs, namely, rectangular grid graphs ($P_m \Box P_n$), triangular grid graphs, and hexagonal grid graphs.
