For an ordered k -decomposition 𝒟 = { G 1 , G 2 , , G k } of a connected graph G and an edge e of G , the 𝒟 -code of e is the k -tuple c 𝒟 ( e ) = ( d ( e , G 1 ) , d ( e , G 2 ) , ... , d ( e , G k ) ) , where d ( e , G i ) is the distance from e to G i . A decomposition 𝒟 is resolving if every two distinct edges of G have distinct 𝒟 -codes. The minimum k for which G has a resolving k -decomposition is its decomposition dimension dim d ( G ) . A resolving decomposition 𝒟 of G is connected if each G i is connected for 1 i k . The minimum k for which G has a connected resolving k -decomposition is its connected decomposition number c d ( G ) . Thus 2 dim d ( G ) c d ( G ) m for every connected graph G of size m 2 . All nontrivial connected graphs of size m with connected decomposition number 2 or m have been characterized. We present characterizations for connected graphs of size m with connected decomposition number m - 1 or m - 2 . It is shown that each pair s , t of rational numbers with 0 < s t 1 , there is a connected graph G of size m such that dim d ( G ) / m = s and c d ( G ) / m = t .

AB - For an ordered $k$-decomposition $\mathcal {D} = \lbrace G_1, G_2,\dots , G_k\rbrace $ of a connected graph $G$ and an edge $e$ of $G$, the $\mathcal {D}$-code of $e$ is the $k$-tuple $c_{\mathcal {D}}(e) = (d(e, G_1), d(e, G_2),\ldots , d(e, G_k))$, where $d(e, G_i)$ is the distance from $e$ to $G_i$. A decomposition $\mathcal {D}$ is resolving if every two distinct edges of $G$ have distinct $\mathcal {D}$-codes. The minimum $k$ for which $G$ has a resolving $k$-decomposition is its decomposition dimension $\dim _d(G)$. A resolving decomposition $\mathcal {D}$ of $G$ is connected if each $G_i$ is connected for $1 \le i \le k$. The minimum $k$ for which $G$ has a connected resolving $k$-decomposition is its connected decomposition number $\mathop {\mathrm {c}d}(G)$. Thus $2 \le \dim _d(G) \le \mathop {\mathrm {c}d}(G) \le m$ for every connected graph $G$ of size $m \ge 2$. All nontrivial connected graphs of size $m$ with connected decomposition number 2 or $m$ have been characterized. We present characterizations for connected graphs of size $m$ with connected decomposition number $m-1$ or $m-2$. It is shown that each pair $s, t$ of rational numbers with $ 0 < s \le t \le 1$, there is a connected graph $G$ of size $m$ such that $\dim _d(G)/m = s$ and $\mathop {\mathrm {c}d}(G) / m = t$.
