In the Metric Dimension problem, one asks for a minimum-size set $R$ of vertices such that for any pair of vertices of the graph, there is a vertex from $R$ whose two distances to the vertices of the pair are distinct. This problem has…
A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…
Minimum resolution set and associated metric dimension provide the basis for unique and systematic labeling of nodes of a graph using distances to a set of landmarks. Such a distance vector set, however, may not be unique to the graph and…
The fractional versions of graph theoretic-invariants multiply the range of applications in scheduling, assignment and operational research problems. In this paper, we introduce the fractional version of local metric dimension of graphs.…
Metric dimension is a valuable parameter that helps address problems related to network design, localization, and information retrieval by identifying the minimum number of landmarks required to uniquely determine distances between vertices…
For a set W of vertices and a vertex v in a graph G, the k-vector r2(v|W) = (aG(v,w1),...,aG(v,wk)) is the adjacency representation of v with respect to W, where W = {w1,...,wk} and aG(x,y) is the minimum of 2 and the distance between the…
A generator of a metric space is a set $S$ of points in the space with the property that every point of the space is uniquely determined by its distances from the elements of $S$. Given a simple graph $G=(V,E)$, we define the distance…
The metric dimension (MD) of a graph is a combinatorial notion capturing the minimum number of landmark nodes needed to distinguish every pair of nodes in the graph based on graph distance. We study how much the MD can increase if we add a…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. A vertex $w$ {\em strongly resolves} a pair $u, v$ of vertices of $G$ if there exists some shortest $u-w$ path containing $v$ or some shortest $v-w$ path containing $u$. A set $W$ of vertices is a {\em strong…
We introduce a broad class of equations that are described by a graph, which includes many well-studied systems. For these, we show that the number of solutions (or the dimension of the solution set) can be bounded by studying certain…
The connected domination game is played just as the domination game, with an additional requirement that at each stage of the game the vertices played induce a connected subgraph. The number of moves in a D-game (an S-game, resp.) on a…
Inspired by notorious combinatorial optimization problems on graphs, in this paper we consider a series of related problems defined using a metric space and topology determined by a graph. Particularly, we present the Independent Set,…
Let $G$ be a simple and connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$. A vertex $w\in V(G)$ strongly resolves two vertices $u,v \in V(G)$ if $v$ belongs to a shortest $u-w$ path or $u$ belongs to a shortest $v-w$ path. A set $W \subseteq V(G)$ is…
For a graph $G$, a subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ is called a \emph{resolving set} if for any two vertices $u,v \in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $w \in S$ such that $d(w,u) \neq d(w,v)$. The {\sc Metric Dimension} problem takes as input a graph…
Given a connected graph $G$, a vertex $w\in V(G)$ distinguishes two different vertices $u,v$ of $G$ if the distances between $w$ and $u$ and between $w$ and $v$ are different. Moreover, $w$ strongly resolves the pair $u,v$ if there exists…
Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. A set $S\subseteq X$ is said to be a $k$-metric generator for $X$ if and only if for any pair of different points $u,v\in X$, there exist at least $k$ points $w_1,w_2, \ldots w_k\in S$ such that $d(u,w_i)\ne…
A vertex set $U \subseteq V$ of an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a \textit{resolving set} for $G$ if for every two distinct vertices $u,v \in V$ there is a vertex $w \in U$ such that the distance between $u$ and $w$ and the distance between…
This paper deals with the maximum value of the difference between the determining number and the metric dimension of a graph as a function of its order. Our technique requires to use locating-dominating sets, and perform an independent…
Let ${\mathcal G}$ be a graph family defined on a common (labeled) vertex set $V$. A set $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a simultaneous metric generator for ${\cal G}$ if for every $G\in {\cal G}$ and every pair of different vertices $u,v\in…
The Fibonacci dimension fdim(G) of a graph G is introduced as the smallest integer f such that G admits an isometric embedding into Gamma_f, the f-dimensional Fibonacci cube. We give bounds on the Fibonacci dimension of a graph in terms of…
