Monotonicity of the minimum cardinality of an identifying code in the hypercube. (English) Zbl 1093.94033

Summary: Let \(M_{t}(n)\) denote the minimum cardinality of a \(t\)-identifying code in the \(n\)-cube. It was conjectured that for all \(n \geq 2\) and \(t\geq 1\) we have \(M_{t}(n)\leq M_{t} (n+1)\). We prove this inequality for \(t=1\).
