Using dominating sets to separate vertices of graphs is a well-studied problem in the larger domain of identification problems. In such problems, the objective is to choose a suitable dominating set $C$ of a graph $G$ which is also…

An open-locating-dominating set of a graph models a detection system for a facility with a possible "intruder" or a multiprocessor network with a possible malfunctioning processor. A "sensor" or "detector" is assumed to be installed at a…

A locating-dominating set (LDS) of a graph $G$ is a dominating set $S$ of $G$ such that for every two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $V(G) \setminus S$, $N(u)\cap S \neq N(v)\cap S$. The locating-domination number $\gamma^{L}(G)$ is the minimum…

The problem of finding dominators in a directed graph has many important applications, notably in global optimization of computer code. Although linear and near-linear-time algorithms exist, they use sophisticated data structures. We…

Assume that a graph $G$ models a detection system for a facility with a possible ``intruder," or a multiprocessor network with a possible malfunctioning processor. We consider the problem of placing detectors at a subset of vertices in $G$…

A dominating set $D$ in a digraph is a set of vertices such that every vertex is either in $D$ or has an in-neighbour in $D$. A dominating set $D$ of a digraph is locating-dominating if every vertex not in $D$ has a unique set of…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D \subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A set $L\subseteq V(G)$ is a locating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V(G) \setminus L$ has…

A dominating set $S$ of a graph $G$ is called locating-dominating, LD-set for short, if every vertex $v$ not in $S$ is uniquely determined by the set of neighbors of $v$ belonging to $S$. Locating-dominating sets of minimum cardinality are…
