On the strong metric dimension of the strong products of graphs
Let G be a connected graph. A vertex w ∈ V.G/ strongly resolves two vertices u,v ∈ 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 resolving set for G if every pair of vertices of G is strongly resolved by some vertex o...

description | Let G be a connected graph. A vertex w ∈ V.G/ strongly resolves two vertices u,v ∈ 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
resolving set for G if every pair of vertices of G is strongly resolved by some vertex of S. The smallest cardinality
of a strong resolving set for G is called the strong metric dimension of G. It is well known that the problem of
computing this invariant is NP-hard. In this paper we study the problem of finding exact values or sharp bounds for
the strong metric dimension of strong product graphs and express these in terms of invariants of the factor graphs. |
