Abstract

Let \(\Gamma =\Gamma (V, E)\) be a simple (multiple edges and loops are not considered), connected (every pair of distinct vertices are joined by a path), and an undirected (all edges are bidirectional) graph, with the vertex set V and the edge set E. The length of the shortest path (geodesic distance) between two vertices p and q, denoted by d(pq), is the minimum number of edges lying between the vertices p and q. The resolvability parameters for graph \(\Gamma \) are a relatively new advanced area in which the complete network is built so that each vertex or/and edge signifies a unique position. The challenge of characterizing families of planar graphs with constant and bounded metric dimensions is a widely studied topic. In this paper, we consider three new families of planar graphs viz., \(A_m\), \(B_m\), and \(C_m\) (where \(m\ge 6\) is always even natural), and study their metric dimensions. We prove that only 3 non-adjacent vertices are sufficient to resolve every pair of distinct vertices of \(A_m\), \(B_m\), and \(C_m\).
