Abstract

Consider a connected undirected bipartite graph G=(V=I@?A,E), with no edges inside I or A. For any vertex v@?V, let N(v) be the set of neighbours of v. A code C@?A is said to be discriminating if all the sets N(i)@?C, i@?I, are nonempty and distinct. We study some properties of discriminating codes in particular classes of bipartite graphs, namely trees and, more generally, (bipartite) planar graphs.
