Let G be a connected and simple graph with the vertex set V(G) and the edge set E(G). The set S ⊆ V (G) is called a k-metric generator for G if and only if for every two pairs different vertices u,v ∈ V(G), there are at least k vertices w1,w2, . . .,wk ∈ S such that d(u,wi) ≠ d(v,wi) for every i ∈ {1, 2, …, k}, with d(u,v) is the length of shortest uv path. A minimum k-metric generator is called a k-metric basis and its cardinality is called the k-metric dimension of G, denoted by dimk(G). A barbell graph Bn,n for n ≥ 3 is the simple graph obtained from two complete graph Kn connected by a bridge. A t-fold wheel graph Wnt for t ≥ 2 and n ≥ 3 is the simple graph that contain the central t vertex which are adjacent to each vertex in a cycle, but not adjacent to each other. In this paper, we determine the kmetric dimension of a barbell graph and a t-fold wheel graph.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
