Abstract

Let G be a graph and B(u) be the set of u with all of its neighbors in G. A set S of vertices is called an identifying code of G if, for every pair of distinct vertices u and v, both B(u)@?S and B(v)@?S are nonempty and distinct. A minimum identifying code of a graph G is an identifying code of G with minimum cardinality and M(G) is the cardinality of a minimum identifying code for G. A minimum identifying code graph G of order n is a graph with M(G)=@?log"2(n+1)@? having the minimum number of edges. Moncel (2006) [5] constructed minimum identifying code graphs of order 2^m-1 for m=2 and left the same problem but for arbitrary order open. In this paper, we aimed at the construction of connected minimum identifying code graphs in order to solve this problem for integer order greater than or equal to 4. Furthermore, we discussed some related properties.
