Let Zn\mathbb{Z}^n be the integer lattice in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Two points in Zn\mathbb{Z}^n are called \emph{neighbors} if they differ by exactly 11 in one coordinate and are equal in all other coordinates. For which integers n≥1n \geq 1 does there exist a set of points S⊂ZnS \subset \mathbb{Z}^n satisfying the following two conditions? \begin{enumerate} \item[(1)] If pp is in SS, then none of the neighbors of pp is in SS. \item[(2)] If p∈Znp \in \mathbb{Z}^n is not in SS, then exactly one of the neighbors of pp is in SS. \end{enumerate}
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)

For which integers n≥1 does there exist a set of points S⊂Z^(n) satisfying the following two conditions? \begin{enumerate} \item[(1)] If p is in S, then none of the neighbors of p is in S. \item[(2)] If p∈Z^(n) is not in S, then exactly one of the neighbors of p is in S. \end{enumerate}
Original LaTeX notation
Let $\mathbb{Z}^n$ be the integer lattice in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Two points in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ are called \emph{neighbors} if they differ by exactly $1$ in one coordinate and are equal in all other coordinates. For which integers $n \geq 1$ does there exist a set of points $S \subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ satisfying the following two conditions? \begin{enumerate} \item[(1)] If $p$ is in $S$, then none of the neighbors of $p$ is in $S$. \item[(2)] If $p \in \mathbb{Z}^n$ is not in $S$, then exactly one of the neighbors of $p$ is in $S$. \end{enumerate}
