If for all vertices v 2 V the sets Br v n S are all nonempty and different where Br v denotes the set of all points within distance r from v then we call S an r-identifying code. We give constructive upper bounds on the best possible density of r-identifying codes in four infinite regular graphs for small values of r. 1 Introduction Given a connected undirected graph G V E finite or infinite we define Br v the ball of radius r centred at a vertex v 2 V by Br v x 2 V d X v rg where d X v denotes the number of edges in any shortest path between v and X. Whenever d X v r we say that X and v r-cover each other or simply cover if there is no ambiguity . A set of vertices covers a vertex if at least one of its elements does. We call any nonempty subset S of V a code and its elements codewords. A code S is called r-identifying or identifying if the sets Br v n S v 2 V are all nonempty and different. The set Br v n S is called the r-identifying set or identifying set of v and will be denoted by ISr v or IS v . Two vertices which have different identifying sets are said to be r-separated or separated. Remark. For given graph G V E and integer r there exists an r-identifying code S c V if and only if Vvi W2 2 V vi v2 Br vi Br v .

Conversely if for some v1 v2 2 V Br v1 Br v2 then for any code S Q V we have IS v1 IS v2 . For instance there is
