On metric dimension of flower graphs fnχm and convex polytopes

Abstract
Let G be a connected graph and d(x, y) be the dis-tance between the vertices x and y. A subset of vertices W ={w1,w2, · · · ,wk} is called a resolving set for G if for every two distinct vertices x, y ∈ V (G), there is a vertex wi ∈ W such that d(x,wi) 6= d(y,wi). A resolving set containing a minimum number of vertices is called a metric basis for G and the number of vertices in a metric basis is its metric dimension dim(G). Let F be a family of connected graphs Gn : F = (Gn)n 1 depend- ing on n as follows: the order |V (G)| = '(n) and lim n!1 '(n) = ∞. If there exists a constant C > 0 such that dim(G) ≤ C for every n ≥ 1 then we shall say that F has bounded metric dimension; otherwise F has unbounded metric dimension. If all graphs in F have the same metric dimension (which does not depend on n), then F is called a family with constant metric dimension. The metric dimension of some classes of plane graphs has been de- termined in [3], [4], [5], [10], [12], [15] and [22], while metric dimen- sion of some classes of convex polytopes has been studied in [10]. In this paper this study is extended, by considering flower graphs fn×m and two classes of graphs associated to convex polytopes.
