چکیده
An identifying code in a graph G is a subset of vertices with the property that for each vertex v ∈ V (G), the collection of elements of C at distance at most 1 from v is non-empty and distinct from the collection of any other vertex. We consider the minimum density d(Sk) of an identifying code in the square grid Sk of height k (i.e. with vertex set Z × {1, . . . , k}). Using the Discharging Method, we prove 7 20 + 1 20k ≤ d(Sk) ≤ min { 2 5 , 7 20 + 3 10k } , and d(S3) = 3 7 .

Codes identifiants de densité minimum dans les grilles carrées Résumé : Un code identifiant dans un graphe G est un sous-ensemble de sommets tel que pour tout sommet v ∈ V (G), la collection des éléments de C à distance au plus 1 de v set non vide et distincte des collections des autres sommets. Nous considérrons la densité minimum d(Sk) d’un code identifiant dans la grille carrée de hauteur k, notée Sk, (son ensemble de sommets est Z × {1, . . . , k}). A l’aide de la Méthode de Déchargement, nous prouvons que 7 20 + 1 20k ≤ d(Sk) ≤ min { 2 5 , 7 20 + 3 10k } , et d(S3) = 3 7 .

New lower bound for 2-identifying code in the square grid
An r-identifying code in a graph G = (V,E) is a subset C ⊆ V such that for each u ∈ V the intersection of C and the ball of radius r centered at u is nonempty and unique. Previously, r-identifying codes have been studied in various grids. In particular, it has been shown that there exists a 2-identifying code in the square grid with density 5/29 ≈ 0.172 and that there are no 2-identifying codes...
متن کاملIdentifying codes in some subgraphs of the square lattice
An identifying code of a graph is a subset of vertices C such that the sets B(v) ∩ C are all nonempty and di,erent. In this paper, we investigate the problem of -nding identifying codes of minimum cardinality in strips and -nite grids. We -rst give exact values for the strips of height 1 and 2, then we give general bounds for strips and -nite grids. Finally, we give a sublinear algorithm which ...
متن کاملAutomated Discharging Arguments for Density Problems in Grids
Discharging arguments demonstrate a connection between local structure and global averages. This makes it an effective tool for proving lower bounds on the density of special sets in infinite grids. However, the minimum density of an identifying code in the hexagonal grid remains open, with an upper bound of 37 ≈ 0.428571 and a lower bound of 5 12 ≈ 0.416666. We present a new, experimental fram...

متن کاملLower Bounds for Identifying Codes in some Infinite Grids
An r-identifying code on a graph G is a set C ⊂ V (G) such that for every vertex in V (G), the intersection of the radius-r closed neighborhood with C is nonempty and unique. On a finite graph, the density of a code is |C|/|V (G)|, which naturally extends to a definition of density in certain infinite graphs which are locally finite. We present new lower bounds for densities of codes for some s...
