A vertex $w$ in a graph $G$ is said to resolve two vertices $u$ and $v$ if $d(w,u)\neq d(w, v)$. A set $W$ of vertices is a resolving set for $G$ if every pair of distinct vertices is resolved by some vertex in $W$. The metric dimension of…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ with geodesic distance $d(\cdot,\cdot)$ is said to be resolved by a non-empty subset $R$ of its vertices when, for all vertices $u$ and $v$, if $d(u,r)=d(v,r)$ for each $r\in R$, then $u=v$. The metric dimension of $G$ is…

Given a graph $G$ and a subset of vertices $S = \{w_1, \ldots, w_t\} \subseteq V(G)$, the multiset representation of a vertex $u\in V(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the multiset $m(u|S) = \{| d_G(u, w_1), \ldots, d_G(u, w_t) |\}$. A subset of…

For an ordered set $W=\{w_1,w_2,...,w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$, the ordered $k$-vector $r(v|W):=(d(v,w_1),d(v,w_2),...,d(v,w_k))$ is called the (metric) representation of $v$ with respect to $W$, where…

A vertex $v$ is said to distinguish two other vertices $x$ and $y$ of a nontrivial connected graph G if the distance from $v$ to $x$ is different from the distance from $v$ to $y$. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a local metric set for $G$ if…

For an ordered set W = {w1,w2,...,wk} of vertices and a vertex v in a connected graph G, the ordered k-vector r(v|W) := (d(v,w1),d(v,w2),...,d(v,wk)) is called the (metric) representation of v with respect to W, where d(x,y) is the distance…

In a graph G, the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) (resp. E(G)) is called the vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of G. In [16] it was shown that both vertex and edge metric…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph and let $d(u,v)$ denote the distance between vertices $u,v \in V$. A metric basis for $G$ is a set $B\subseteq V$ of minimum cardinality such that no two vertices of $G$ have the same distances to all…

Slimness of a graph measures the local deviation of its metric from a tree metric. In a graph $G=(V,E)$, a geodesic triangle $\bigtriangleup(x,y,z)$ with $x, y, z\in V$ is the union $P(x,y) \cup P(x,z) \cup P(y,z)$ of three shortest paths…
