Let G = (V (G), E(G)) be a graph and S be a subset of vertices of G. Let us denote by γ [u, v] a geodesic between u and v. Let Γ(S) = { γ [ v_i, v_j ] | v_i, v_j ∈ S be a set of exactly |S|(|S|−1) // 2 geodesics, one for each pair of distinct vertices in S. Let V ( Γ (S)) = ⋃_γ [x,y] ∈Γ (S) V ( γ [x, y]) be the set of all vertices contained in all the geodesics in Γ (S). If V ( Γ (S)) = V (G) for some Γ (S), then we say that S is a strong geodetic set of G. The cardinality of a minimum strong geodetic set of a graph is the strong geodetic number of G. It is known that it is NP-hard to determine the strong geodetic number of a general graph. In this paper we show that the strong geodetic number of an outerplanar graph can be computed in polynomial time.
