Abstract

Given a graph and a positive integer we address the following combinatorial search theoretic problem: What is the minimum number of queries of the form “does an unknown vertex belong to the ball of radius around ?” with and that is needed to determine . We consider both the adaptive case when the th query might depend on the answers to the previous queries and the non-adaptive case when all queries must be made at once. We obtain bounds on the minimum number of queries for hypercubes, the Erdős–Rényi random graphs and graphs of bounded maximum degree.
