Let $G$ be a graph and $U\subset V(G)$ be a set of vertices. For each $v\in U$, let $h_v\colon U\to \{0, 1\}$ be the function defined by \[h_v(u)=\begin{cases} &1 ~\mbox{if}~u\sim v, u\in U\\&0 ~\mbox{if}~u\not\sim v, u\in U\end{cases},\]…
We study sets of local dimensions for self-similar measures in $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the finite neighbour condition, which is formally stronger than the weak separation condition but satisfied in all known examples. Under a mild technical…
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…
The metric dimension is quite a well-studied graph parameter. Recently, the adjacency dimension and the local metric dimension have been introduced and studied. In this paper, we give a general formula for the local metric dimension of the…
A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…
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…
The metric dimension of a graph is the smallest number of nodes required to identify all other nodes based on shortest path distances uniquely. Applications of metric dimension include discovering the source of a spread in a network,…
Let $G$ be a graph. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is independent if its elements are pairwise non-adjacent. A vertex $v \in V(G)$ is shedding if for every independent set $S \subseteq V(G) \setminus N[v]$ there exists $u \in N(v)$ such that $S…
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…
Let ${\cal G}$ be a family of graphs defined on a common (labeled) vertex set $V$. A set $S\subset V$ is said to be a simultaneous strong metric generator for ${\cal G}$ if it is a strong metric generator for every graph of the family. The…
The \emph{local boxicity} of a graph $G$, denoted by $lbox(G)$, is the minimum positive integer $l$ such that $G$ can be obtained using the intersection of $k$ (, where $k \geq l$,) interval graphs where each vertex of $G$ appears as a…
The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum size of a set of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by the distances to the vertices of that set. Our aim is to upper-bound the order $n$ of a graph in terms of its diameter…
Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$, and let $k$ be a positive integer. A set $D \subseteq V$ is a \emph{distance-$k$ dominating set} of $G$ if, for each vertex $u \in V-D$, there exists a vertex $w\in D$ such that $d(u,w) \le k$, where…
In this paper, we study the metric dimension problem in maximal outerplanar graphs. Concretely, if $\beta (G)$ is the metric dimension of a maximal outerplanar graph $G$ of order $n$, we prove that $2\le \beta (G) \le \lceil…
Numerous problems consisting in identifying vertices in graphs using distances are useful in domains such as network verification and graph isomorphism. Unifying them into a meta-problem may be of main interest. We introduce here a…
A function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ \cup \{0\}$ is a resolving broadcast of a graph $G$ if, for any distinct $x,y\in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $z\in V(G)$ with $f(z)>0$ such that $\min\{d(x,z), f(z)+1\} \neq \min\{d(y,z),…
In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ is a double dominating set of $G$ if every vertex is dominated by at least two vertices in $S$. The double domination number $\gamma_{\times 2}(G)$…
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ with vertex set $V(G)$. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is an $(a,b)$-dominating set if every vertex $v\in S$ is adjacent to at least $a$ vertices in $S$ and every $v\in V\setminus S$ is adjacent to at…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{general position set} if no shortest path in $G$ contains three or more vertices of $S$. In this paper, we generalise a problem of M. Gardner to graph theory by introducing the \emph{lower…
