For an ordered k-decomposition D fG 1 ; G 2 ; . . . ; G k g of a connected graph G and an edge e of G, the D-representation of e is the k-tuple rejD de; G 1 ; de; G 2 ; . . . ; de; G k , where de; G i is the distance from e to G i . A decomposition D is resolving if every two distinct edges of G have distinct representations. The minimum k for which G has a resolving k-decomposition is its decomposition dimension dec(G). It is shown that for every two positive integers k and n ! 2, there exists a tree T of order n with decT k. It is also shown that decG n for every graph G of order n ! 3 and that decK n 2n 5=3 for n ! 3.
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.
