A subset  of vertices of a simple connected graph is a neighborhood set (n-set) of  G if G is the union of subgraphs of G induced by the closed neighbors of elements in S. Further, a set S is a resolving set of G if for each pair of distinct vertices x,y of G, there is a vertex s∈ S such that d(s,x)≠d(s,y). An n-set that serves as a resolving set for G is called an nr-set of G. The nr-set with least cardinality is called an nr-metric basis of G and its cardinality is called the neighborhood metric dimension of graph G. In this paper, we characterize graphs of neighborhood metric dimension two.

AbstractResolving set and metric basis has become an integral part in combinatorial chemistry and molecular topology. It has a lot of applications in computer, chemistry, pharmacy and mathematical disciplines. A subset S of the vertex set V of a connected graph G resolves G if all vertices of G have different representations with respect to S. A metric basis for G is a resolving set having minimum cardinal number and this cardinal number is called the metric dimension of G. In present work, we find a metric basis and also metric dimension of 1-pentagonal carbon nanocones. We conclude that only three vertices are minimal requirement for the unique identification of all vertices in this network.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph and [Formula: see text] be the distance between the vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. The diameter of [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. A subset of vertices [Formula: see text] is called a resolving set for [Formula: see text] if for every two distinct vertices [Formula: see text], there is a vertex [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], such that [Formula: see text]. A resolving set containing the minimum number of vertices is called a metric basis for [Formula: see text] and the number of vertices in a metric basis is its metric dimension, denoted by [Formula: see text]. Metric dimension is a generalization of affine dimension to arbitrary metric spaces (provided a resolving set exists). Let [Formula: see text] be a family of connected graphs [Formula: see text] depending on [Formula: see text] as follows: the order [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. If there exists a constant [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] for every [Formula: see text] then we shall say that [Formula: see text] has bounded metric dimension, otherwise [Formula: see text] has unbounded metric dimension. If all graphs in [Formula: see text] have the same metric dimension, then [Formula: see text] is called a family of graphs with constant metric dimension. In this paper, we study the metric properties of an infinite class of circulant graphs with three generators denoted by [Formula: see text] for any positive integer [Formula: see text] and when [Formula: see text]. We compute the diameter and determine the exact value of the metric dimension of these circulant graphs.

Concepts of resolving set and metric basis has enjoyed a lot of success because of multi-purpose applications both in computer and mathematical sciences. For a connected graph G(V,E) a subset W of V(G) is a resolving set for G if every two vertices of G have distinct representations with respect to W. A resolving set of minimum cardinality is called a metric basis for graph G and this minimum cardinality is known as metric dimension of G. Boron nanotubes with different lattice structures, radii and chirality’s have attracted attention due to their transport properties, electronic structure and structural stability. In the present article, we compute the metric dimension and metric basis of 2D lattices of alpha-boron nanotubes.

Minimum resolving sets (edge or vertex) have become an integral part of molecular topology and combinatorial chemistry. Resolving sets for a specific network provide crucial information required for the identification of each item contained in the network, uniquely. The distance between an edge e = cz and a vertex u is defined by d(e, u) = min{d(c, u), d(z, u)}. If d(e1, u) ≠ d(e2, u), then we say that the vertex u resolves (distinguishes) two edges e1 and e2 in a connected graph G. A subset of vertices RE in G is said to be an edge resolving set for G, if for every two distinct edges e1 and e2 in G we have d(e1, u) ≠ d(e2, u) for at least one vertex u ∈ RE. An edge metric basis for G is an edge resolving set with minimum cardinality and this cardinality is called the edge metric dimension edim(G) of G. In this article, we determine the edge metric dimension of one-pentagonal carbon nanocone (1-PCNC). We also show that the edge resolving set for 1-PCNC is independent.

Let G=V,E be a simple connected graph, w∈V be a vertex, and e=uv∈E be an edge. The distance between the vertex w and edge e is given by de,w=mindw,u,dw,v, A vertex w distinguishes two edges e1, e2∈E if dw,e1≠dw,e2. A set S is said to be resolving if every pair of edges of G is distinguished by some vertices of S. A resolving set with minimum cardinality is the basis for G, and this cardinality is the edge metric dimension of G, denoted by edimG. It has already been proved that the edge metric dimension is an NP-hard problem. The main objective of this article is to study the edge metric dimension of some families of wheel-related graphs and prove that these families have unbounded edge metric dimension. Moreover, the results are compared with the metric dimension of these graphs.

Let G be a connected graph. An ordered set of vertices {v1, ..., vl} is a 2-resolving set in G if, for any distinct vertices u, w ∈ V (G), the lists of distances (dG(u, v1), ..., dG(u, vl)) and (dG(w, v1), ..., dG(w, vl)) differ in at least 2 positions. If G has a 2-resolving set, we denote the least size of a 2-resolving set by dim2(G), the 2-metric dimension of G. A 2-resolving set of size dim2(G) is called a 2-metric basis for G. This study deals with the concept of 2-resolving set of a graph. It  characterizes the 2-resolving set in the join and corona of graphs and determine theexact values of the 2-metric dimension of these graphs.

Let G(V, E) be a connected graph. A vertex w strongly resolves a pair of vertices u,v in V if there exists some shortestu–w path containing V or some shortest v–w path containing u. A set w ⊂ V of vertices is called a strong resolving set for G if every pair of vertices of V\W is strongly resolved by some vertex of w . A strong resolving set of minimum cardinality is called a strong metric basis and this cardinality is called the strong metric dimension of G. The strong metric dimension problem is to find a strong metric basis in a graph. In this paper we investigate the strong metric dimension problem for certain nanostructures.

For an ordered subset S = {s1, s2, . . . sk} of vertices in a connected graph G, the metric representation of a vertex u with respect to the set S is the k-vector r(u|S) = (dG(v, s1), dG(v, s2), . . . , dG(v, sk)), where dG(x, y) represents the distance between the vertices x and y. The set S is a metric generator for G if every two different vertices of G have distinct metric representations with respect to S. A minimum metric generator is called a metric basis for G and its cardinality, dim(G), the metric dimension of G. It is well known that the problem of finding the metric dimension of a graph is NP-Hard. In this paper we obtain closed formulae and tight bounds for the metric dimension of strong product graphs.

Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph and d(x, y) be the distance between the vertices x and y in G. A set of vertices W resolves a graph G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in W. A metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of G and is denoted by dim(G). In this paper, Cycle, Path, Harary graphs and their rooted product as well as their connectivity are studied and their metric dimension is calculated. It is proven that metric dimension of some graphs is unbounded while the other graphs are constant, having three or four dimensions in certain cases.

The minimum edge version of metric basis is the smallest set [Formula: see text] of edges in a connected graph [Formula: see text] such that for every pair of edges [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] there exists an edge [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] holds. In this paper, the families of grid graphs and generalized prism graphs have been studied for edge version of metric dimension. Edge version of metric dimension is found to be constant for both families of graphs.
