Consider an undirected and connected graph G = ( V G , E G ) , where V G and E G represent the set of vertices and the set of edges respectively. The concept of edge version of metric dimension and doubly resolving sets is based on the distances of edges in a graph. In this paper, we find the edge version of metric dimension and doubly resolving sets for the necklace graph.

For an ordered subset S = {s1, s2, . . . sk} of vertices in a connected graph G, the metric representation of a vertex u with respect to the set S is the k-vector r(u|S) = (dG(v, s1), dG(v, s2), . . . , dG(v, sk)), where dG(x, y) represents the distance between the vertices x and y. The set S is a metric generator for G if every two different vertices of G have distinct metric representations with respect to S. A minimum metric generator is called a metric basis for G and its cardinality, dim(G), the metric dimension of G. It is well known that the problem of finding the metric dimension of a graph is NP-Hard. In this paper we obtain closed formulae and tight bounds for the metric dimension of strong product graphs.

AbstractResolving set and metric basis has become an integral part in combinatorial chemistry and molecular topology. It has a lot of applications in computer, chemistry, pharmacy and mathematical disciplines. A subset S of the vertex set V of a connected graph G resolves G if all vertices of G have different representations with respect to S. A metric basis for G is a resolving set having minimum cardinal number and this cardinal number is called the metric dimension of G. In present work, we find a metric basis and also metric dimension of 1-pentagonal carbon nanocones. We conclude that only three vertices are minimal requirement for the unique identification of all vertices in this network.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph and [Formula: see text] be the distance between the vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. The diameter of [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. A subset of vertices [Formula: see text] is called a resolving set for [Formula: see text] if for every two distinct vertices [Formula: see text], there is a vertex [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], such that [Formula: see text]. A resolving set containing the minimum number of vertices is called a metric basis for [Formula: see text] and the number of vertices in a metric basis is its metric dimension, denoted by [Formula: see text]. Metric dimension is a generalization of affine dimension to arbitrary metric spaces (provided a resolving set exists). Let [Formula: see text] be a family of connected graphs [Formula: see text] depending on [Formula: see text] as follows: the order [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. If there exists a constant [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text] then we shall say that [Formula: see text] has bounded metric dimension, otherwise [Formula: see text] has unbounded metric dimension. If all graphs in [Formula: see text] have the same metric dimension, then [Formula: see text] is called a family of graphs with constant metric dimension. In this paper, we study the metric properties of an infinite class of circulant graphs with three generators denoted by [Formula: see text] for any positive integer [Formula: see text] and when [Formula: see text]. We compute the diameter and determine the exact value of the metric dimension of these circulant graphs.

Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph and d(x, y) be the distance between the vertices x and y in G. A set of vertices W resolves a graph G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in W. A metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of G and is denoted by dim(G). In this paper, Cycle, Path, Harary graphs and their rooted product as well as their connectivity are studied and their metric dimension is calculated. It is proven that metric dimension of some graphs is unbounded while the other graphs are constant, having three or four dimensions in certain cases.

The minimum edge version of metric basis is the smallest set [Formula: see text] of edges in a connected graph [Formula: see text] such that for every pair of edges [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] there exists an edge [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] holds. In this paper, the families of grid graphs and generalized prism graphs have been studied for edge version of metric dimension. Edge version of metric dimension is found to be constant for both families of graphs.

Concepts of resolving set and metric basis has enjoyed a lot of success because of multi-purpose applications both in computer and mathematical sciences. For a connected graph G(V,E) a subset W of V(G) is a resolving set for G if every two vertices of G have distinct representations with respect to W. A resolving set of minimum cardinality is called a metric basis for graph G and this minimum cardinality is known as metric dimension of G. Boron nanotubes with different lattice structures, radii and chirality’s have attracted attention due to their transport properties, electronic structure and structural stability. In the present article, we compute the metric dimension and metric basis of 2D lattices of alpha-boron nanotubes.

The most productive application of graph theory in chemistry is the representation of molecules by the graphs, where vertices and edges of graphs are the atoms and valence bonds between a pair of atoms, respectively. For a vertex w and an edge f = c 1 c 2 of a connected graph G , the minimum number from distances of w with c 1 and c 2 is called the distance between w and f . If for every two distinct edges f 1 , f 2 ∈ E G , there always exists w 1 ∈ W E ⊆ V G such that d f 1 , w 1 ≠ d f 2 , w 1 , then W E is named as an edge metric generator. The minimum number of vertices in W E is known as the edge metric dimension of G . In this paper, we calculate the edge metric dimension of ortho-polyphenyl chain graph O n , meta-polyphenyl chain graph M n , and the linear [n]-tetracene graph T n and also find the edge metric dimension of para-polyphenyl chain graph L n . It has been proved that the edge metric dimension of O n , M n , and T n is bounded, while L n is unbounded.

In this paper, a new concept k -size edge resolving set for a connected graph G in the context of resolvability of graphs is defined. Some properties and realizable results on k -size edge resolvability of graphs are studied. The existence of this new parameter in different graphs is investigated, and the k -size edge metric dimension of path, cycle, and complete bipartite graph is computed. It is shown that these families have unbounded k -size edge metric dimension. Furthermore, the k-size edge metric dimension of the graphs Pm □ Pn, Pm □ Cn for m, n ≥ 3 and the generalized Petersen graph is determined. It is shown that these families of graphs have constant k -size edge metric dimension.

Circulant networks form a very important and widely explored class of graphs due to their interesting and wide-range applications in networking, facility location problems, and their symmetric properties. A resolving set is a subset of vertices of a connected graph such that each vertex of the graph is determined uniquely by its distances to that set. A resolving set of the graph that has the minimum cardinality is called the basis of the graph, and the number of elements in the basis is called the metric dimension of the graph. In this paper, the metric dimension is computed for the graph Gn1,k constructed from the circulant graph Cn1,k by subdividing its edges. We have shown that, for k=2, Gn1,k has an unbounded metric dimension, and for k=3 and 4, Gn1,k has a bounded metric dimension.

Let G be a finite, connected graph of order of, at least, 2 with vertex set VG and edge set EG. A set S of vertices of the graph G is a doubly resolving set for G if every two distinct vertices of G are doubly resolved by some two vertices of S. The minimal doubly resolving set of vertices of graph G is a doubly resolving set with minimum cardinality and is denoted by ψG. In this paper, first, we construct a class of graphs of order 2n+Σr=1k−2nmr, denoted by LSGn,m,k, and call these graphs as the layer Sun graphs with parameters n, m, and k. Moreover, we compute minimal doubly resolving sets and the strong metric dimension of the layer Sun graph LSGn,m,k and the line graph of the layer Sun graph LSGn,m,k.
