Abstract

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a graph and let r1r\ge 1 be an integer. For a set DVD \subseteq V, define Nr[x]={yV:d(x,y)r}N_r[x] = \{y \in V: d(x, y) \leq r\} and Dr(x)=Nr[x]DD_r(x) = N_r[x] \cap D, where d(x,y)d(x,y) denotes the number of edges in any shortest path between xx and yy. DD is known as an rr-identifying code (rr-locating-dominating set, respectively), if for all vertices xVx\in V (xV\Dx \in V\backslash D, respectively), Dr(x)D_r(x) are all nonempty and different. In this paper, we provide complete results for rr-identifying codes in paths and odd cycles; we also give complete results for 2-locating-dominating sets in cycles.
