Abstract:

The smallest cardinality of an $r$-locating-dominating code in a cycle $\C_n$ of length $n$ is denoted by $M_r^{LD}(\C_n)$. In this paper, we prove that for any $r \geq 5$ and $n \geq n_r$ when $n_r$ is large enough ($n_r=\mathcal{O}(r^3)$) we have $n/3 \leq M_r^{LD}(\C_n) \leq n/3+1$ if $n \equiv 3 \pmod{6}$ and $M_r^{LD}(\C_n) = \lceil n/3 \rceil$ otherwise. Moreover, we determine the exact values of $M_3^{LD}(\C_n)$ and $M_4^{LD}(\C_n)$ for all $n$.
