Minimum Coprime Labelings of Generalized Petersen and Prism Graphs

Combinatorics 2019-08-19 v1

Abstract

A coprime labeling of a graph of order nn is an assignment of distinct positive integer labels in which adjacent vertices have relatively prime labels. Restricting labels to only the set 11 to nn results in a prime labeling. In this paper, we consider families of graphs in which a prime labeling cannot exist with the goal being to minimize the largest value of the labeling set, resulting in a minimum coprime labeling. In particular, prism graphs, generalized Petersen graphs with k=2k=2, and stacked prism graphs are investigated for minimum coprime labelings.
