Abstract

For any (not necessary connected) graph $G(V,E)$ and $A\subseteq V(G)$, the distance of a vertex $x\in V(G)$ and $A$ is $d(x,A)=\min\{d(x,a): a\in A\}$. A subset of vertices $A$ resolves two vertices $x,y \in V(G)$ if $d(x,A)\neq d(y,A)$. For an ordered partition $\Lambda=\{A_1, A_2,\ldots, A_k\}$ of $V(G)$, if all $d(x,A_i)\infty$ for all $x\in V(G)$, then the representation of $x$ under $\Lambda$ is $r(x|\Lambda)=(d(x,A_1), d(x,A_2), \ldots, d(x,A_k))$. Such a partition $\Lambda$ is a resolving partition of $G$ if every two distinct vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ are resolved by $A_i$ for some $i\in [1,k]$. The smallest cardinality of a resolving partition $\Lambda$ is called a partition dimension of $G$ and denoted by $pd(G)$ or $pdd(G)$ for connected or disconnected $G$, respectively. If $G$ have no resolving partition, then $pdd(G)=\infty$. In this paper, we studied the partition dimension of disjoint union of complete bipartite graph, namely $tK_{m,n}$ where $t\geq 1$ and $m\geq n\geq 2$. We gave the necessary condition such that the partition dimension of $tK_{m,n}$ are finite. Furthermore, we also derived the necessary and sufficient conditions such that $pdd(tK_{m,n})$ is either equal to $m$ or $m+1$.
