Sedlar–Škrekovski's mixed metric dimension conjecture

From papers

Let GG be a connected graph that is not a cycle. Write O(G)=V(G)E(G)O(G)=V(G)\cup E(G), let dimm(G)\operatorname{dim_m}(G) denote the minimum cardinality of a mixed metric generator of GG, let (G)\ell(G) be the number of leaves of GG, and let

c(G)=E(G)V(G)+1c(G)=|E(G)|-|V(G)|+1

be its cyclomatic number. Sedlar–Škrekovski's conjecture.

dimm(G)(G)+2c(G).\operatorname{dim_m}(G)\leq \ell(G)+2c(G).

Sedlar and Škrekovski proposed this bound after determining the mixed metric dimension of unicyclic graphs. The conjecture concerns the mixed metric dimension of connected graphs beyond cycles; its resolution is not established in the supplied source.
