Abstract

Given an integer ℓ≥ 1, a (1,≤ ℓ)-identifying code in a digraph is a dominating subset C of vertices such that all distinct subsets of vertices of cardinality at most ℓ have distinct closed in-neighbourhood within C. In this paper, we prove that every k-iterated line digraph of minimum in-degree at least 2 and k≥2, or minimum in-degree at least 3 and k≥1, admits a (1,≤ ℓ)-identifying code with ℓ≤2, and in any case it does not admit a (1,≤ ℓ)-identifying code for ℓ≥3. Moreover, we find that the identifying number of a line digraph is lower bounded by the size of the original digraph minus its order. Furthermore, this lower bound is attained for oriented graphs of minimum in-degree at least 2.
