Abstract

Consider an oriented graph G = ( V, A ), a subset of vertices C ⊆ V, and an integer r {greater than or slanted equal to} 1; for any vertex v ∈ V, let Br- ( v ) denote the set of all vertices x such that there exists a path from x to v with at most r arcs. If for all vertices v ∈ V, the sets Br- ( v ) ∩ C are all nonempty and different, then we call C an r-identifying code. We describe a linear algorithm which gives a minimum 1-identifying code in any oriented tree.
