Abstract

Let S be a collection of elements in a vertex set V. If every vertex in a graph G falls on a geodesic connecting two vertices from S, then that graph is said to be a geodesic set. g(G) is the smallest cardinality of the geodesic subset of a graph G is known as the geodetic number. This study investigates how the removal of an edge affects some unique families of graphs' geodetic numbers.
