Abstract

For two vertices u and v of a connected graph G, the set I G [ u , v ] consists of all those vertices lying on u-v geodesics in G. Given a set S of vertices of G, the union of all sets I G [ u , v ] for u,v ∈ S is denoted by I G [ S ] . A set S ⊆ V(G) is a geodetic set if I G [ S ] = V ( G ) and the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set is its geodetic number g(G) of G. Bounds for the geodetic number of strong product graphs are obtainted and for several classes improved bounds and exact values are obtained.
