Edge Metric Dimension of Silicate Networks

Abstract: Metric dimension is an essential parameter in graph theory that aids in addressing issues pertaining to information retrieval, localization, network design, and chemistry through the identification of the least possible number of elements necessary to identify the distances between vertices in a graph uniquely. A variant of metric dimension, called the edge metric dimension focuses on distinguishing the edges in a graph $G$, with a vertex subset. The minimum possible number of vertices in such a set is denoted as $\dim_E(G)$. This paper presents the precise edge metric dimension of silicate networks.
