Abstract

The general position number gp(G){\rm gp}(G) of a connected graph GG is the cardinality of a largest set SS of vertices such that no three pairwise distinct vertices from SS lie on a common geodesic. The nn-dimensional grid graph \pn\pn is the Cartesian product of nn copies of the two-way infinite path PP_\infty. It is proved that if nNn\in {\mathbb N}, then gp(Pn)=22n1{\rm gp}({P_\infty^n}) = 2^{2^{n-1}}. The result was earlier known only for n{1,2}n\in \{1,2\} and partially for n=3n=3.
