One of the basic problems in secret sharing is to determine the exact values of the information ratio of the access structures. This task is important from the practical point of view, since the security of any system degrades as the amount of secret information increases.
A Dutch windmill graph consists of the edge-disjoint cycles such that all of them meet in one vertex. In this paper, we determine the exact information ratio of secret sharing schemes on the Dutch windmill graphs. Furthermore, we determine the exact ratio of some related graph families.
