Abstract
In this paper we prove some bounds for Steiner distance in Cartesian product. We investigate properties of connected subgraphs that are not Steiner convex. Those results are the key in the characterization of Steiner convex sets of grids and also in the characterization of 3-Steiner convex sets of Cartesian product graphs.
