    Abstract

    Given a graph G and a positive integer R we address the following combinatorial search theoretic problem: What is the minimum number of queries of the form "does an unknown vertex v∈V(G) belong to the ball of radius r around u?" with u∈V(G) and r≤R that is needed to determine v. We consider both the adaptive case when the jth 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 Erd\H os-Rényi random graphs and graphs of bounded maximum degree.
