Abstract:
      A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G =(V, E)$ is a locating-dominating set (LDS) if for every two vertices $u,v$ of $V\setminus D$ the sets $N(u)\cap D$ and $N(v)\cap D$ are non-empty and different. The locating-domination number $\gamma_{\rm L}(G)$ is the minimum cardinality of an LDS of $G$, and the upper-locating domination number $\Gamma_{\rm L}(G)$ is the maximum cardinality of a minimal LDS of $G$. In the present paper, methods for determining the exact values of the upper locating-domination numbers of cycles are provided.
