Title
Locating-dominating codes in paths
Abstract
Bertrand, Charon, Hudry and Lobstein studied, in their paper in 2004 [1], r-locating-dominating codes in paths P\"n. They conjectured that if r=2 is a fixed integer, then the smallest cardinality of an r-locating-dominating code in P\"n, denoted by M\"r^L^D(P\"n), satisfies M\"r^L^D(P\"n)=@?(n+1)/3@? for infinitely many values of n. We prove that this conjecture holds. In fact, we show a stronger result saying that for any r=3 we have M\"r^L^D(P\"n)=@?(n+1)/3@? for all n=n\"r when n\"r is large enough. In addition, we solve a conjecture on location-domination with segments of even length in the infinite path.
