Description

Let  be a connected graph. Let  be a subset of  with an order imposed on it. For any , the vector  is called the metric representation of  with respect to . If distinct vertices in  have distinct metric representation, then  is called a resolving set of . The minimum cardinality of a resolving set of  is called the metric dimension of  and it is denoted by . A resolving set  is called a non-isolated resolving set if the induced sub graph  has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a non-isolated resolving set of  is called the non-isolated resolving number of  and is denoted by . In this paper, we determine the non-isolated resolving number for some standard graphs like double broom, the join of complete graphs and paths, etc. Further more, we discuss about the relationship of  with other parameters.
