Abstract:

In this paper, we are dealing with the study of the metric dimension of some classes of regular graphs by considering a class of bridgeless cubic graphs called the flower snarks Jn, a class of cubic convex polytopes considering the open problem raised in [M. Imran et al., families of plane graphs with constant metric dimension, Utilitas Math., in press] and finally Harary graphs H5,n by partially answering to an open problem proposed in [I. Javaid et al., Families of regular graphs with constant metric dimension, Utilitas Math., 2012, 88: 43–57]. We prove that these classes of regular graphs have constant metric dimension.

Key words: metric dimension, basis, resolving set, cubic graph, flower snark, convex polytope
