The metric dimension of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$. Let $\\{G_1, G_2, \\ldots, G_n\\}$ be a finite collection of graphs and each $G_i$ has a fixed vertex $v_{0_i}$ or a fixed edge $e_{0_i}$ called a terminal vertex or edge, respectively. The vertex-amalgamation of $G_1, G_2, \\ldots, G_n$, denoted by $Vertex-Amal\\{G_i;v_{0_i}\\}$, is formed by taking all the $G_i$'s and identifying their terminal vertices. Similarly, the edge-amalgamation of $G_1, G_2, \\ldots, G_n$, denoted by $Edge-Amal\\{G_i;e_{0_i}\\}$, is formed by taking all the $G_i$'s and identifying their terminal edges. Here we study the metric dimensions of vertex-amalgamation and edge-amalgamation for finite collection of regular graphs: complete graphs and prisms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-21T03:22:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C12" ], "keywords": [ "metric dimension", "regular graphs", "finite collection", "minimum cardinality", "complete graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.5164S" } } }
