Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and let $d(u,w)$ denote the length of a $u-w$ geodesic in $G$. For any $v\in V(G)$ and $e=xy\in E(G)$, let $d(e,v)=\min\{d(x,v),d(y,v)\}$. For distinct $e_1, e_2\in E(G)$, let…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a connected graph $G$ is a distance-equalizer set if for every two distinct vertices $x, y \in V (G) \setminus S$ there is a vertex $w \in S$ such that the distances from $x$ and $y$ to $w$ are the same. The…

Nonlocal metric dimension ${\rm dim}_{\rm n\ell}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is introduced as the cardinality of a smallest nonlocal resolving set, that is, a set of vertices which resolves each pair of non-adjacent vertices of $G$. Graphs $G$ with…

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…

For a given graph $G$, the metric and edge metric dimensions of $G$, $\dim(G)$ and ${\rm edim}(G)$, are the cardinalities of the smallest possible subsets of vertices in $V(G)$ such that they uniquely identify the vertices and the edges of…

The metric (resp. edge metric or mixed metric) dimension of a graph $G$, is the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that uniquely recognizes all the pairs of distinct vertices (resp. edges, or vertices and edges) of $G$ by…

A resolving set for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The metric dimension of $\Gamma$ is the smallest size of…

The mixed metric dimension ${\rm mdim}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that (metrically) resolves each pair of elements from $V(G)\cup E(G)$. We say that $G$ is a max-mdim graph if ${\rm mdim}(G) = n(G)$.…

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…

We introduce a variation of metric dimension, called the multiset dimension. The representation multiset of a vertex $v$ with respect to $W$ (which is a subset of the vertex set of a graph $G$), $r_m (v|W)$, is defined as a multiset of…

Given a connected graph $G$, a set of vertices $X\subset V(G)$ is a weak $k$-resolving set of $G$ if for each two vertices $y,z\in V(G)$, the sum of the values $|d_G(y,x)-d_G(z,x)|$ over all $x\in X$ is at least $k$, where $d_G(u,v)$ stands…

Given a simple and connected graph $G=(V,E)$, and a positive integer $k$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is said to be a $k$-metric generator for $G$, if for any pair of different vertices $u,v\in V$, there exist at least $k$ vertices…

Let ${\rm dim}(G)$ and $D(G)$ respectively denote the metric dimension and the distinguishing number of a graph $G$. It is proved that $D(G) \le {\rm dim}(G)+1$ holds for every connected graph $G$. Among trees, exactly paths and stars…

For an ordered subset $W = \{w_1, w_2,\dots w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $u$ in a connected graph $G$, the representation of $u$ with respect to $W$ is the ordered $k$-tuple $ r(u|W)=(d(v,w_1), d(v,w_2),\dots,$ $d(v,w_k))$, where…

Given a connected graph $G(V, E)$, the edge dimension, denoted $\mathrm{edim}(G)$, is the least size of a set $S \subseteq V$ that distinguishes every pair of edges of $G$, in the sense that the edges have pairwise distinct tuples of…

A set of vertices S is a resolving set of a graph G; if for every pair of vertices x and y in G, there exists a vertex s in S such that x and y differ in distance to s. A smallest resolving set of G is called a metric basis. The metric…

Given a connected graph $G$, a vertex $w\in V(G)$ strongly resolves two vertices $u,v\in V(G)$ if there exists some shortest $u-w$ path containing $v$ or some shortest $v-w$ path containing $u$. A set $S$ of vertices is a strong metric…

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…

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