1. INTRODUCTION Metric dime ns ion is one of sub jects in graph theory. The proble m
of s tudying the m etric dime ns ion was ?rstly intro duced by Slate r in 1975. Harary and
Me lter [6] prop os ed the s ame conce pt in the ir pap e r ’On the Metric Dime ns ion of
a Graph’. This pap e r fo cuse d on a conce pt name ly me tric represe ntation that is a
way to repres ent ve rte x lo cation in a graph.

Let u and v are ve rtice s in conne cte d graph G, the dis tanc e d ( u, v ) is the le ngth of

entation of v with re sp e ct to W is the k - vec tor r ( v | W ) = ( d ( v , w 1 ) , d ( v , w 2 ) ,
. . . , d ( v , w k )). The following de?nition ab out metric dime ns ion was prop ose d by
Harary and Me lte r [6]. De?niti on 1. 1 The subset W is a resolving set if r ( v | W ) for
every t wo vertices of G have dist inct represent ations.

A resolving set of minimum cardin ality for graph G is cal led a minimum resolving set o
r a basis for G . The metric dimension of G , denot ed by dim ( G ) , is the n umber of
basis for G . The concept of me tric dim ension has proved to b e use ful in a variety of
?e lds .

Chartrand et al [2] applied the re solving s et of m etric dim ension in che mistry to class
ify the chemic al com p ound. Khulle r et al [12] als o applie d in rob otic navigation.
Furthermore, Seb o e t al [11] applie d in c ombinatorial se arch and optimization. More
over Hindayani [7] has studie d the determining m etric dime ns ion of K r + mK s graph.

The re sults are dim ( K r + mK s ) = m + ( r - 2) for m = 2 , s = 1, and dim ( K r + mK s )


= ( s - 1) m + ( r - 1) for m, s = 2. Another work related to the m etric dim ension is prop
ose d by Permana [9] on the de termining metric dime ns ion for som e tre es in s p e
ci?c shap e. He obtained dim ( C m,n ) = m ( n - 1) for m = 1, n = 2, dim ( F m,n ) = m ( n
- 1) for m, n = 2, and dim ( B m,n ) = m ( n - 2) for m = 2, n = 3 .

In this pap er we consider the me tric dim ension of frie ndship graph F n , lollip op
graph L m,n and Pe terse n graph P n,m for m = 1. 2. PRELIMINA RIES A graph G consis
ts of a se t of ob jec ts V ( G ) = { v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , . . . } called vertices and other se t E ( G )
= { e 1 , e 2 , e 3 , . . . } whose elem ents are called edges and graph is usually denote d
as G = ( V ( G ) , E ( G )) [13].

A graph at leas t has one ve rte x and p e rhaps has no e dge . T he numb e r of ve rtice s
in G denote d by | V ( G ) | is ofte n c alle d the order of G , while the numb er of edges
denote d by | E ( G ) | is its size [4]. The e dge e = ( u, v ) is de note d to join the ve rtic es
u and v .

If e = ( u, v ) is an e dge of a graph G , then u and v are adjacent vertices , w hile u and e


are incident , as are v and e [3]. For a conne cted graph G , we de ?ne the distance d ( u,
v ) b e twe en two vertice s u and v as the minimum of the lengths of the u - v paths of
G . Mulyono & Wul andari – Metric Dim ensi on 119 d ( u, v ) = 0 for all pairs u, v of
vertic es of G , and d ( u, v ) = 0 if and only if u = v [3].

A friendship gra ph F n is a graph that can b e construc te d by c oale sc ence n copies


of the c ycle graph C 3 of length 3 with a c omm on vertex. T he friendship graph F n is
also planar graph w ith 2 n + 1 ve rtice s and 3 n edges . The ve rtic es s et is V ( F n ) = {
c, v 1 , v 2 , v 2 , , v 2 n } and the e dge s s et is E ( F n ) = { cv 1 , cv 2 , cv 3 , , cv 2 n } ? { v
1 v 2 , v 3 v 4 , . . . , v 2 i - 1 v 2 i , . . . , v 2 n - 1 v 2 n } for n = 2 [1]. The following ?gure s

For al l in teger n = 2 , dim ( F n ) = n Pro of 3. 1 We ch oose a subset W = { v 1 , v 3 , v 5

, v 2 n - 1 } , and we must show that dim ( F n ) = n for n = 2 . By de?nition 1.1, w e got


the represen ta- tions of vertices in graph F n with respect to W are r ( c | W ) = (1 , 1 , 1 ,
. . . , 1 , 1) r ( v 1 | W ) = (0 , 2 , 2 , . . . , 2 , 2) r ( v 2 | W ) = (1 , 2 , 2 , . . . , 2 , 2) r ( v 3 | W )
= (2 , 0 , 2 , . . . , 2 , 2) r ( v 4 | W ) = (2 , 1 , 2 , . . .

, 2 , 2) r ( v 5 | W ) = (2 , 2 , 0 , . . . , 2 , 2) . . . = . . . r ( v 2 n - 1 | W ) = (2 , 2 , 2 , . . . , 2 , 0) r
( v 2 n | W ) = (2 , 2 , 2 , . . . , 2 , 1) From above, the representat ion s of vertices in graph
F n are d istinct. This impiles t hat W is resolving set, but it is not necessarily the low er
boun d. Thus the upper bound is dim ( F n ) = n .

Now , we show t hat dim ( F n ) = n . Let W = { v 1 , v 3 , v 5 , . . . , v 2 n - 1 } is a resolving


set w hich is | W | = n . Assume t hat W 1 is another mini- mum resolving set or we can
deno te | W 1 | < n . If we choose an ordered set W 1 ? W - { v i } , i is odd, so that there
are two vert ices v i , v i +1 ? F n such that r ( v i | W ) = r ( v i +1 | W ) = (2 , 2 , 2 , . . . , 2 ,
2) . W 1 is n ot a resolving set, a contradiction with assumpt ion . Thus t he low er bound
is dim ( F n ) = n .

From the above proving, we conclude that dim ( F n ) = n . _ Mulyono & Wul andari –

+ 1 , n + 1 , . . . , n + 1 , n + 1) From above, t he represent ations of vertices in graph L
m,n are distinct.

This impiles t hat W is resolving set, but it is not necessarily the low er boun d. Thus the
upper bound is dim ( L m,n ) = m - 1 . Now , w e show t hat dim ( L m,n ) = m - 1 . Let W
= { v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , . . . , v m - 1 } is a resolving set w hich is | W | = m - 1 . Assume t hat W

an ordered set W 1 ? { v 1 , v 2 , v 3 , . . .

such th at r ( v i | W ) = r ( v j | W ) = (1 , 1 , 1 , . . . , 1 , 1) . W 1 is not a resolving set , a
con tra dict ion w ith assump tio n. Th us the low er bound is dim ( L m,n ) = m - 1 .
From the above proving, we conclude that dim ( F n ) = n . _ We c ontinue to the othe r

W 1 = { u 1 , u k } , k = n +1 2 , an d we must show t hat dim ( P n,m ) = 2 for m = 1 , n is
odd, n = 3 . By de?nition 1.1, we got the represent ations of vertices in grap h P n,m with
respect to W are r ( u 1 | W ) = (0 , k - 1) r ( u 2 | W ) = (1 , k - 2) r ( u 3 | W ) = (2 , k - 3) .

2) . . . = . . . r ( v k | W ) = ( k , 1) r ( v k +1 | W ) = ( k , 2) . . . = . . . r ( v n | W ) = (2 , k )
From above, the represent ations of vertices in graph P n,m are distin ct. This impiles
that W is resolving set w it h | W | = 2 .

Obtained the upper bo und is dim ( P n,m ) = 2 . For the Pet ersen graph P n,m , t here is
no resolving set that the cardinality is one. Thus t he lower bound is dim ( P n,m ) = 2 .
Obta ined that dim ( P n,m ) = 2 and dim ( P n,m ) = 2 , t herefore dim ( P n,m ) = 2 .
Case ( ii) Show ed that dim ( P n,m ) = 3 for m = 1 , n is even , n = 4 We choose a subset

n,m are distin ct.

This impiles t hat W is resolving set, but it is not necessarily the low er boun d. Thus the
upper bound is dim ( P n,m ) = 3 . Now , w e show tha t dim ( P n,m ) = 3 . Assume W 1
is anot her min imum reso lving set of P n,m for m = 1 , n is even, n = 4 with | W 1 | < 3 .
If w e choose an ord ered set W 1 ? W - { v k } , so th at t here are the sa me representat
