Abstract. Consider a connected undirected graph G=(V,E), a subset C of vertices, and an integer r greater than or equal to 1; for any vertex v in V, let Br(v) denote the ball of radius r centered at v, i.e., the set of all vertices within distance r from v.
If for all vertices v in V (respectively in V \ C), the sets Br(v) $\cap$ C are all nonempty and different, then we call C an r-identifying code (respectively, an r-locating-dominating code). We study the smallest cardinalities or densities of these codes in chains (finite or infinite) and cycles.
