Abstract
Complex networks are not easy to decode and understand to work on it, similarly, the Möbius structure is also considered as a complex structure or geometry. But making a graph of every complex and huge structure either chemical or computer-related networks becomes easy. After making easy of its construction, recognition of each vertex (node or atom) is also not an easy task, in this context resolvability parameters plays an important role in controlling or accessing each vertex with respect to some chosen vertices called as resolving set or sometimes dividing entire cluster of vertices into further subparts (subsets) and then accessing each vertex with respect to build in subsets called as resolving partition set. In these parameters, each vertex has its own unique identification and is easy to access despite the small or huge structures. In this article, we provide a resolving partition of hexagonal Möbius ladder graph and discuss bounds of partition dimension of hexagonal Möbius ladder network.

1 Introduction
Hexagonal network is used in several fields of sciences, due to its advantages compared to other several lattice networks. Hexagonal networks have an uncomplicated and symmetrical adjoining neighborhood, which avoids the uncertain behavior that square or triangular networks have. When the adjacent locality, path, or connectivity is critical, the square and triangular networks are not appropriate. Current investigation on image processing and digital images discovered that using a hexagonal network as an alternative to square networks provides improved outcomes Kumar et al., 2014; Wen and Khatibi, 2018. In the area of ecology, the advantages of using hexagons are presented in observation, experiment, and simulation, with excellent benefits, provided in natural demonstrating Birch et al., 2007. Many investigators recommend the use of a hexagonal network, especially in cartography, in the order to obtain smaller resolutions by using the disintegration of the larger cells into smaller ones Mocnik, 2018; Sahr et al., 2003.
The notion of metric dimension appeared with various titles. Slater SSlater and treeslater and trees, 1975 introduced the notion of metric dimension as locating sets, later Harary and Melter Harary and Melter, 1976 proposed the idea by in terms of metric dimension instead of locating sets. Chartrand et al. Chartrand et al., 2000, described the notion of metric dimension as resolving sets. For more details on resolving set, metric basis and metric dimension appeared we refer to see Chartrand et al., 2000; Chartrand et al., 2000; Chartrand et al., 2000; J. Caceres et al., 2007; Khuller et al., 1996; Chvatal, 1983. The generalized version of metric dimension is called partition dimension defined in Chartrand et al., 2000. The metric dimension of a connected graph is based on the distances among the vertices while the partition dimension is based on the distances among the vertices and sets containing vertices. It was proved that determining the metric dimension of a graph is a NP-hard problem Chartrand et al., 2000. Since partition dimension is a generalization of finding the metric dimension, therefore finding the partition dimension of a graph is also an NP-hard problem.
It is natural to ask about the characterizations of the graphs based on the nature of the partition dimension. Researchers are always interested to prove that whether the partition dimension of a family of a network is constant, bounded or unbounded. Therefore, the study of finding partition dimension of a graph significantly appeared and several results are found. Such as; Baskoro et al. Baskoro et al., 2020 discussed graphs with partition dimension
Applications of resolving partition parameter can be found in various fields such as network verification and its discovery Beerliova et al., 2006, Khuller et al. discussed resolving partitions in robot navigations, Caceres et al. relate the famous Djokovic-Winkler relation J. Caceres et al., 2007, and Chvatal describe the resolving sets considering as an application for the strategies of the mastermind games Chvatal, 1983. Further, applications of resolving sets can be found in Johnson, 1993; Johnson, 1998; Melter and Tomescu, 1984. Moreover, to explore the applications of this concept in networks, we refer to see Chartrand et al., 2000; Harary and Melter, 1976. Due to vast applications of partition dimension and hexagonal networks, in this paper, we computed the partition dimension of hexagonal Möbius ladder network.

2.1 Hexagonal Möbius ladder network
Recently, Nadeem et al. Nadeem et al., 2020 define the structure of hexagonal Möbius ladder network and computed its metric dimension. The Möbius graph is constructed by adding a vertex on each horizontal edges of square grid, as shown in Fig. 1, each cycle is order six in the grid which is the reason to called the hexagonal grid and Nadeem et al., 2020 named it hexagonal Möbius ladder graph. Twist this hexagonal grid
