Abstract

A vertex vV(G)v\in V(G) is said to distinguish two vertices x,yV(G)x,y\in V(G) of a nontrivial connected graph GG if the distance from vv to xx is different from the distance from vv to yy. A set SV(G)S\subset V(G) is a local metric generator for GG if every two adjacent vertices of GG are distinguished by some vertex of SS. A local metric generator with the minimum cardinality is called a local metric basis for GG and its cardinality, the local metric dimension of GG. It is known that the problem of computing the local metric dimension of a graph is NP-Complete. In this paper we study the problem of finding exact values or bounds for the local metric dimension of strong product of graphs.
