Abstract

Locating dominating set is the subset S  of the vertex set V(G)  which dominate and uniquely identify all vertices of the set V(G)-S . In this paper we formulated the apt method for finding the location domination number of sum of graphs G1+G2 based on the nature of the graphs  and G1and G2 .
