Abstract

A (0,1)(0,1)-labeling of a set is said to be friendly if the number of elements of the set labeled 0 and the number labeled 1 differ by at most 1. Let gg be a labeling of the edge set of a graph that is induced by a labeling ff of the vertex set. If both gg and ff are friendly then gg is said to be a cordial labeling of the graph. We extend this concept to directed graphs and investigate the cordiality of directed graphs. We show that all directed paths and all directed cycles are cordial. We also discuss the cordiality of oriented trees and other digraphs.
