Sharp lower bounds on the metric dimension of circulant graphsKnor, Martin (Avtor) Škrekovski, Riste (Avtor) Vetrík, Tomáš (Avtor) Cayley graphdistanceresolving setFor $n \ge 2t+1$ where $t \ge 1$, the circulant graph $C_n (1, 2, \dots , t)$ consists of the vertices $v_0, v_1, v_2, \dots , v_{n-1}$ and the edges $v_i v_{i+1}$, $v_i v_{i+2}, \dots , v_i v_{i + t}$, where $i = 0, 1, 2, \dots , n-1$, and the subscripts are taken modulo $n$. We prove that the metric dimension ${\rm dim} (C_n (1, 2, \dots , t)) \ge \left\lceil \frac{2t}{3} \right\rceil + 1$ for $t \ge 5$, where the equality holds if and only if $t = 5$ and $n = 13$. Thus ${\rm dim} (C_n (1, 2, \dots , t)) \ge \left\lceil \frac{2t}{3} \right\rceil + 2$ for $t \ge 6$. This bound is sharp for every $t \ge 6$.20252025-04-17 09:32:43Članek v reviji168563sl
