Edge metric dimension of some graph operations (1809.08900v1)

Abstract: Let $G=(V, E)$ be a connected graph. Given a vertex $v\in V$ and an edge $e=uw\in E$, the distance between $v$ and $e$ is defined as $d_G(e,v)=\min{d_G(u,v),d_G(w,v)}$. A nonempty set $S\subset V$ is an edge metric generator for $G$ if for any two edges $e_1,e_2\in E$ there is a vertex $w\in S$ such that $d_G(w,e_1)\ne d_G(w,e_2)$. The minimum cardinality of any edge metric generator for a graph $G$ is the edge metric dimension of $G$. The edge metric dimension of the join, lexicographic and corona product of graphs is studied in this article.
