Extremal graph theory for metric dimension and diameter

A set of vertices S resolves a connected graph G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in S. The metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of G. Let G ,D be the set of graphs with metric dimension and diameter D. It is well-known...

Resumo:A set of vertices S resolves a connected graph G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in S. The metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of G. Let G ,D be the set of graphs with metric dimension and diameter D. It is well-known that the minimum order of a graph in G ,D is exactly + D. The first contribution of this paper is to characterise the graphs in G ,D with order + D for all values of and D. Such a characterisation was previously only known for D 6 2 or 6 1. The second contribution is to determine the maximum order of a graph in G ,D for all values of D and . Only a weak upper bound was previously known.
