For a connected graph Γ=(V,E), a subset R of ordered vertices in V is said to be a resolving set in Γ, if the vector of distances to the vertices in R is unique for each ui∈ V(Γ). The metric dimension of Γ is the minimum cardinality of such a set R. If R∖ \ui\ is still a resolving set ∀ ui∈ R, then R is called a fault-tolerant resolving set (FTRS) for Γ and its least cardinality is the fault-tolerant metric dimension (FTMD) of Γ. In this article, we introduce the concept of an independent fault-tolerant resolving set (IFTRS) and investigate it for several well-known graphs. We also show that the FTMD is four for three closely related families of convex polytopes available in the literature (viz., double antiprism \mathbbAn, Sn, and Tn).
