Solving Two Conjectures regarding Codes for Location in Circulant Graphs
Identifying and locating-dominating codes have been widely studied in
circulant graphs of type , which can also be viewed as
power graphs of cycles. Recently, Ghebleh and Niepel (2013) considered
identification and location-domination in the circulant graphs . They
showed that the smallest cardinality of a locating-dominating code in
is at least and at most
for all . Moreover, they proved that the lower bound is strict when
and conjectured that the lower bound can be
increased by one for other . In this paper, we prove their conjecture.
Similarly, they showed that the smallest cardinality of an identifying code in
is at least and at most for all . Furthermore, they proved that the lower bound is
attained for most of the lengths and conjectured that in the rest of the
cases the lower bound can improved by one. This conjecture is also proved in
the paper. The proofs of the conjectures are based on a novel approach which,
instead of making use of the local properties of the graphs as is usual to
identification and location-domination, also manages to take advantage of the
global properties of the codes and the underlying graphs
Optimal local identifying and local locating-dominating codes
We introduce two new classes of covering codes in graphs for every positive
integer . These new codes are called local -identifying and local
-locating-dominating codes and they are derived from -identifying and
-locating-dominating codes, respectively. We study the sizes of optimal
local 1-identifying codes in binary hypercubes. We obtain lower and upper
bounds that are asymptotically tight. Together the bounds show that the cost of
changing covering codes into local 1-identifying codes is negligible. For some
small optimal constructions are obtained. Moreover, the upper bound is
obtained by a linear code construction. Also, we study the densities of optimal
local 1-identifying codes and local 1-locating-dominating codes in the infinite
square grid, the hexagonal grid, the triangular grid, and the king grid. We
prove that seven out of eight of our constructions have optimal densities
