special issue in honor of Laci Babai's 60th birthday: Combinatorics, Groups, Algorithms, and Complexity International audience The metric dimension of a graph Gamma is the least number of vertices in a set with the property that the list of distances from any vertex to those in the set uniquely identifies that vertex. We consider the Grassmann graph G(q)(n, k) (whose vertices are the k-subspaces of F-q(n), and are adjacent if they intersect in a (k 1)-subspace) for k \textgreater= 2. We find an upper bound on its metric dimension, which is equal to the number of 1-dimensional subspaces of F-q(n). We also give a construction of a resolving set of this size in the case where k + 1 divides n, and a related construction in other cases.

Abstract Classical applications of resolving sets and metric dimension can be observed in robot navigation, networking and pharmacy. In the present article, a formula for computing the metric dimension of a simple graph wihtout singleton twins is given. A sufficient condition for the graph to have the exchange property for resolving sets is found. Consequently, every minimal resolving set in the graph forms a basis for a matriod in the context of independence defined by Boutin [Determining sets, resolving set and the exchange property, Graphs Combin., 2009, 25, 789-806]. Also, a new way to define a matroid on finite ground is deduced. It is proved that the matroid is strongly base orderable and hence satisfies the conjecture of White [An unique exchange property for bases, Linear Algebra Appl., 1980, 31, 81-91]. As an application, it is shown that the power graphs of some finite groups can define a matroid. Moreover, we also compute the metric dimension of the power graphs of dihedral groups.

AbstractA resolving set S of a graph G is a subset of its vertices such that no two vertices of G have the same distance vector to S. The Metric Dimension problem asks for a resolving set of minimum size, and in its decision form, a resolving set of size at most some specified integer. This problem is NP-complete, and remains so in very restricted classes of graphs. It is also W[2]-complete with respect to the size of the solution. Metric Dimension has proven elusive on graphs of bounded treewidth. On the algorithmic side, a polynomial time algorithm is known for trees, and even for outerplanar graphs, but the general case of treewidth at most two is open. On the complexity side, no parameterized hardness is known. This has led several papers on the topic to ask for the parameterized complexity of Metric Dimension with respect to treewidth. We provide a first answer to the question. We show that Metric Dimension parameterized by the treewidth of the input graph is W[1]-hard. More refinedly we prove that, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails, there is no algorithm solving Metric Dimension in time $$f(\text {pw})n^{o(\text {pw})}$$ f ( pw ) n o ( pw ) on n-vertex graphs of constant degree, with $$\text {pw}$$ pw the pathwidth of the input graph, and f any computable function. This is in stark contrast with an FPT algorithm of Belmonte et al. (SIAM J Discrete Math 31(2):1217–1243, 2017) with respect to the combined parameter $$\text {tl}+\Delta$$ tl + Δ , where $$\text {tl}$$ tl is the tree-length and $$\Delta$$ Δ the maximum-degree of the input graph.

AbstractThis paper is devoted to random-bit simulation of probability densities, supported on {[0,1]}. The term “random-bit” means that the source of randomness for simulation is a sequence of symmetrical Bernoulli trials. In contrast to the pioneer paper [D. E. Knuth and A. C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform random number generation, Algorithms and Complexity, Academic Press, New York 1976, 357–428], the proposed method demands the knowledge of the probability density under simulation, and not the values of the corresponding distribution function. The method is based on the so-called binary decomposition of the density and comes down to simulation of a special discrete distribution to get several principal bits of output, while further bits of output are produced by “flipping a coin”. The complexity of the method is studied and several examples are presented.
