Abstract

Fault diagnosis of multiprocessor systems motivates the following graph-theoretic definition. A subset $C$ of points in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is called an identifying code if the sets $B(v) \cap C$ consisting of all elements of $C$ within distance one from the vertex $v$ are different. We also require that the sets $B(v) \cap C$ are all nonempty. We take $G$ to be the infinite square lattice with diagonals and show that the density of the smallest identifying code is at least 2/9 and at most 4/17.
