Minimum coprime graph labelings

Abstract

A coprime labeling of a graph GG is a labeling of the vertices of GG with distinct integers from 11 to kk such that adjacent vertices have coprime labels. The minimum coprime number of GG is the least kk for which such a labeling exists. In this paper, we determine the minimum coprime number for several well-studied classes of graphs, including the coronas of complete graphs with empty graphs and the joins of two paths. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Seoud, El Sonbaty, and Mahran and two conjectures of Asplund and Fox. We also provide an asymptotic for the minimum coprime number of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph.
