The silicates are the largest, the most interesting and the most complicated class of minerals by far. The basic chemical unit of silicates is the \((\text{SiO}_4)\) tetrahedron. A silicate sheet is a ring of tetrahedrons which are linked by shared oxygen nodes to other rings in a two-dimensional plane that produces a sheet-like structure. We consider the silicate sheet as a fixed interconnection parallel architecture and call it a silicate network. We solve the Minimum Metric Dimension problem, which is NP-complete for general graphs.
