Let c : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , k} be a proper k-coloring of a simple connected graph G. Let Π = {C 1 , C 2 , . . . , C k } be a partition of V (G), where C i is the set of vertices of G receiving color i. The color code, c Π (v), of a vertex v with respect to Π is an ordered k-tupleIf distinct vertices have distinct color codes then c is called a locating coloring of G. The minimum k for which c is a locating coloring is the locating chromatic number of G, denoted by χ L (G). Let G be a non trivial connected graph and let m ≥ 2 be an integer. The m-shadow of G, denoted by D m (G), is a graph obtained by taking m copies of G, say G 1 , G 2 , . . . , G m , and each vertex v in G i , i = 1, 2, . . . , m−1, is joined to the neighbors of its corresponding vertex v ′ in G i+1 . In the present paper, we deal with the locating chromatic number for m-shadow of connected graphs. Sharp bounds on the locating chromatic number of D m (G) for any non trivial connected graph G and any integer m ≥ 2 are obtained. Then the values of locating chromatic number for m-shadow of complete multipartite graphs and paths are determined, some of which are considered to be optimal.
