Distinguishing Number for some Circulant Graphs

Introduced by Albertson et al. \cite{albertson}, the distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $r$ such that there is a $r$-labeling of the vertices of $G$ that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of $G$. Most of graphs studied in literature have 2 as a distinguishing number value except complete, multipartite graphs or cartesian product of complete graphs depending on $n$. In this paper, we study circulant graphs of order $n$ where the adjacency is defined using a symmetric subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, called generator. We give a construction of a family of circulant graphs of order $n$ and we show that this class has distinct distinguishing numbers and these lasters are not depending on $n$.
