Abstract
A set of vertices X of a graph G is a strong edge geodetic set if, to any pair of vertices from X, we can assign one (or zero) shortest path between them, such that every edge of G is contained in at least one on these paths. The cardinality of a smallest strong edge geodetic set of G is the strong edge geodetic number \(\mathrm{sg_e}(G)\) of G. In this paper, the strong edge geodetic number of complete multipartite graphs is determined. Graphs G with \(\mathrm{sg_e}(G) = n(G)\) are characterized and \(\mathrm{sg_e}\) is determined for Cartesian products \(P_n\,\square \, K_m\). The latter result in particular corrects an error from the literature.
摘要 如果我们能为 X 的任意一对顶点指定一条(或零条)最短路径,使得 G 的每条边都至少包含在其中一条路径中,那么图 G 的顶点集合 X 就是强边大地集。G 的最小强边大地集的心数就是 G 的强边大地数 \(\mathrm{sg_e}(G)\)。本文描述了具有 \(\mathrm{sg_e}(G) = n(G)\) 的图 G,并确定了笛卡尔积 \(P_n\,\square\, K_m\) 的 \(\mathrm{sg_e}\) 。后一个结果特别纠正了文献中的一个错误。
