Abstract

The subgraphs C1, C2, ..., Ck of a graph G are said to identify the vertices (resp. the edges) of G if the sets {j : v 驴 Cj} (resp. {j : e 驴 Cj}) are nonempty for all the vertices v (edges e) and no two are the same. We consider the problem of minimizing k when the subgraphs Ci are required to be cycles or closed walks. The motivation comes from maintaining multiprocessor systems, and we study the cases when G is the binary hypercube, or the two-dimensional p-ary space with respect to the Lee metric.
