Total Difference Labeling of Regular Infinite Graphs

Abstract

Given a graph GG, a \textit{kk-total difference labeling} of the graph is a total labeling ff from the set of edges and vertices to the set {1,2,k}\{1, 2, \cdots k\} satisfying that for any edge {u,v}\{u,v\}, f({u,v})=f(u)f(v)f(\{u,v\})=|f(u)-f(v)|. If GG is a graph, then χtd(G)\chi_{td}(G) is the minimum kk such that there is a kk-total difference labeling of GG in which no two adjacent labels are identical. We extend prior work on total difference labeling by improving the upper bound on χtd(Kn)\chi_{td}(K_n) and also by proving results concerning infinite regular graphs.
