On the Lucky labeling of Graphs

Abstract

Suppose the vertices of a graph GG were labeled arbitrarily by positive integers, and let Sum(v)Sum(v) denote the sum of labels over all neighbors of vertex vv. A labeling is lucky if the function SumSum is a proper coloring of GG, that is, if we have Sum(u)Sum(v)Sum(u) \neq Sum(v) whenever uu and vv are adjacent. The least integer kk for which a graph GG has a lucky labeling from the set {1,2,...,k}\lbrace 1, 2, ...,k\rbrace is the lucky number of GG, denoted by η(G)\eta(G). We will prove, for every graph GG other than K2 K_{2} , wnw+1η(G)Δ2\frac{w}{n-w+1}\leq\eta (G) \leq \Delta^{2} and we present an algorithm for lucky labeling of G G .
