Ghalavand et al.'s local metric dimension bound by clique number

From papers

Let GG be a graph with order n(G)n(G), clique number (G)(G), and local metric dimension l(G)_l(G). Assume

n(G)(G)+14.n(G)\geq (G)+1\geq 4.

Ghalavand et al.'s conjecture.

diml(G)((G)2(G)1)n(G).\dim_l(G)\leq\left\lfloor \left(\frac{(G) - 2}{(G) - 1}\right)n(G)\right\rfloor.

The conjecture was posed as Conjecture 2 in the cited earlier work and is confirmed by the present paper, so it is now a theorem.
