Abstract

Let GG be a graph with vertex set VV. A set SVS \subseteq V is a \emph{strong resolving set} of GG if, for distinct x,yVx,y\in V, there exists zSz\in S such that either xx lies on a yzy-z geodesic or yy lies on an xzx-z geodesic in GG. In this paper, we study maker-breaker strong resolving game (MBSRG) played on a graph by two players, Maker and Breaker, where the two players alternately select a vertex of GG not yet chosen. Maker wins if he is able to choose vertices that form a strong resolving set of GG and Breaker wins if she is able to prevent Maker from winning in the course of MBSRG. We denote by OSR(G)O_{\rm SR}(G) the outcome of MBSRG played on GG. We obtain some general results on MBSRG and examine the relation between OSR(G)O_{\rm SR}(G) and OR(G)O_{\rm R}(G), where OR(G)O_{\rm R}(G) denotes the outcome of the maker-breaker resolving game of GG. We determine the outcome of MBSRG played on some graph classes, including corona product graphs, Cartesian product graphs, and modular product graphs.
