The distance ( , V) between two distinct vertices and V in a graph is the length of a shortest ( , V)-path in . For an ordered subset = { 1 , 2 , . . . , } of vertices and a vertex V in , the code of V with respect to is the ordered -tupleis a resolving set for if every two vertices of have distinct codes. The metric dimension of is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of . In this paper, we first extend the results of the metric dimension of ( , 3) and ( , 4) and study bounds on the metric dimension of the families of the generalized Petersen graphs (2 , ) and (3 , ). The obtained results mean that these families of graphs have constant metric dimension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
