On the closed neighborhood ideal of the square of the path graph

Abstract

We consider the closed neighborhood ideal of square of the path graph and study some of its algebraic and homological invariants. We compute the height, the projective dimension and the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity. We prove that these ideals are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and characterize when they are Cohen-Macaulay.
