Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…

Introduced by Albertson et al. \cite{albertson}, the distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $r$ such that there is a $r$-labeling of the vertices of $G$ that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of $G$.…

The distinguishing number of a graph $G$ is a symmetry related graph invariant whose study started two decades ago. The distinguishing number $D(G)$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a $d$-distinguishing coloring. A distinguishing…

Which graphs admit an integer value harmonic function which is injective and surjective onto $\Z$? Such a function, which we call harmonic labeling, is constructed when the graph is the $\Z^2$ square grid. It is shown that for any finite…

Digraph-defined external difference families were recently introduced as a natural generalization of several well-studied combinatorial objects motivated by cryptography (e.g. external difference families (EDFs) and circular external…

A vertex $v$ is called an AR-vertex, if $v$ has distinct edge weight sums for each distinct subset of edges incident on $v$. i.e., if $\{x_1,x_2,\dots,x_k\}$ are the edge labels of the edges incident on $v$, then the $2^k$ subset sums are…

Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any $d$-regular graph $G$ on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this…

A linear Diophantine equation $ax + by = n$ is solvable if and only if gcd$(a; b)$ divides $n$. A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called Diophantine if there exists a labeling function $f$ of vertices such that gcd$(f(u); f(v))$ divides $n$ for…

A labeling of a graph is a bijection from $E(G)$ to the set $\{1, 2,..., |E(G)|\}$. A labeling is \textit{antimagic} if for any distinct vertices $u$ and $v$, the sum of the labels on edges incident to $u$ is different from the sum of the…

A $(0,1)$-labeling of a set is said to be friendly if the number of elements of the set labeled 0 and the number labeled 1 differ by at most 1. Let $g$ be a labeling of the edge set of a graph that is induced by a labeling $f$ of the vertex…

Let $\mathbb{N}_0$ denote the set of all non-negative integers and $X$ be any subset of $X$. Also denote the power set of $X$ by $\mathcal{P}(X)$. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph $G$ is an injective function $f:V(G)\to…

The ($d$,1)-total labelling of graphs was introduced by Havet and Yu. In this paper, we prove that, for planar graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta\geq12$ and $d=2$, the (2,1)-total labelling number $\lambda_2^T(G)$ is at most $\Delta+2$.

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. For any $n \in \mathbb{N}$,…

We study additively graceful labelings of signed graphs on stars and double stars. While the case of signed stars is straightforward, the problem becomes significantly more intricate for signed double stars. We obtain a characterization of…

For a simple connected graph $G$ of order $n$, a bijective function $f:V(G)\to\{1,2,\cdots,n\}$ is said to be a Legendre cordial labeling modulo $p$, where $p$ is an odd prime, if the induced function $f_p^*:E(G)\to \{0,1\}$, defined by…

A $(2,1)$-total labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ and the edge set $E(G)$ to the set $\{0,1,...,k\}$ of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ is a vertex and $y$ is an edge incident…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an $n$-vertex graph with $m$ edges. A function $f : V \cup E \rightarrow \{1, \ldots, n+m\}$ is an edge-magic labeling of $G$ if $f$ is bijective and, for some integer $k$, we have $f(u)+f(v)+f(uv) = k$ for every edge $uv…

Suppose the vertices of a graph $G$ were labeled arbitrarily by positive integers, and let $Sum(v)$ denote the sum of labels over all neighbors of vertex $v$. A labeling is lucky if the function $Sum$ is a proper coloring of $G$, that is,…

The study of radio graceful labelings is motivated by modeling efficient frequency assignment to radio towers, cellular towers, and satellite networks. For a simple, connected graph $G = (V(G), E(G))$, a radio labeling is a mapping $f: V(G)…

The $d$-capacity of a graph $G$ is introduced as the maximum number of players that can simultaneously traverse $G$ such that each player visits all vertices while maintaining a distance of at least $d$ under various movement rules. We…
