Measures of closeness to cordiality for graphs

Combinatorics 2025-03-04 v2

Abstract

A graph GG is cordial if there exists a function ff from the vertices of GG to {0,1}\{0,1\} such that the number of vertices labelled 00 and the number of vertices labelled 11 differ by at most 11, and if we assign to each edge xyxy the label f(x)f(y)|f(x)-f(y)|, the number of edges labelled 00 and the number of edges labelled 11 also differ at most by 11. We introduce two measures of how close a graph is to being cordial, and compute these measures for a variety of classes of graphs.
