Abstract

Let G = (V,E) be a finite or infinite graph. A set S ? V is paired-dominating if
S induces a matching in G and S dominates all vertices of G. A set S ? V is locating
if for any two distinct vertices u, v in V \ S, N(u) ? S 6= N(v) ? S, where N(u) and
N(v) are open neighborhoods of vertices u and v. We find the minimal density of
locating-paired-dominating sets in the infinite triangular grid, which is equal to 4/15.
We also present bounds for the minimal density D of locating-paired-dominating sets
in the infinite king grid, which is 3/14 ? D ? 2/9
