Abstract

Consider a connected undirected graph G = (V, E), a subset of vertices C ⊆ V, and an integer r ≥ 1; for any vertex v ∈ V, let Br(v) denote the ball of radius r centered at v, i.e., the set of all vertices within distance r from v. If for all vertices v ∈ V (respectively, v ∈ V\C), the sets Br(v) ∩ C are all nonempty and different, then we call C an r-identifying code (respectively, an r-locating-dominating code). We study the smallest cardinalities or densities of these codes in chains (finite or infinite) and cycles.
