A vertex x in a connected graph G = (V, E) is said to resolve a pair {u, v} of vertices of G if the distance from u to x is not equal to the distance from v to x. The resolving neighborhood for the pair {u, v} is defined as R{u, v} = {x ∈ V : d(u, x) ≠ d(v, x)}. A real valued function f : V → [0, 1] is a resolving function (RF) of G if f(R{u, v}) ≥ 1 for any two distinct vertices u, v ∈ V. The weight of f is defined by |f| = f(V) = ∑u∈Vf(v). The fractional metric dimension dim f(G) is defined by dim f(G) = min {|f| : f is a resolving function of G}. In this paper, we characterize graphs G for which [Formula: see text]. We also present several results on fractional metric dimension of Cartesian product of two connected graphs.
Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph and let k be a positive integer with k ≤ rad(G). A subset D ⊆ V is called a distance k-dominating set of G if for every v ∈ V − D, there exists a vertex u ∈ D such that d(u, v) ≤ k. In this paper we study the fractional version of distance k-domination and related parameters.
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.
