Graham and Sloane proposed in 1980 a conjecture stating that every tree has a harmonious labelling, a graph labelling closely related to additive base. Very limited results on this conjecture are known. In this paper, we proposed a…

A labeling of the vertices of a graph by elements of any abelian group $A$ induces a labeling of the edges by summing the labels of their endpoints. Hovey defined the graph $G$ to be $A$-cordial if it has such a labeling where the vertex…

The Graceful Tree Conjecture of Rosa from 1967 asserts that the vertices of each tree T of order n can be injectively labelled by using the numbers {1,2,...,n} in such a way that the absolute differences induced on the edges are pairwise…

An $n$-vertex tree $T$ is said to be $\textit{graceful}$ if there exists a bijective labelling $\phi:V(T)\to \{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that the edge-differences $\{|\phi(x)-\phi(y)| : xy\in E(T)\}$ are pairwise distinct. The longstanding…

A tree $T$ on $2^n$ vertices is called set-sequential if the elements in $V(T)\cup E(T)$ can be labeled with distinct nonzero $(n+1)$-dimensional $01$-vectors such that the vector labeling each edge is the component-wise sum modulo $2$ of…

Suppose $G$ is a tree. Graham's "Tree Reconstruction Conjecture" states that $G$ is uniquely determined by the integer sequence $|G|$, $|L(G)|$, $|L(L(G))|$, $|L(L(L(G)))|$, $\ldots$, where $L(H)$ denotes the line graph of the graph $H$.…

Stanley introduced the concept of chromatic symmetric functions of graphs which extends and refines the notion of chromatic polynomials of graphs, and asked whether trees are determined up to isomorphism by their chromatic symmetric…

The generalized degree polynomial $\mathbf{G}_T(x,y,z)$ of a tree $T$ is an invariant introduced by Crew that enumerates subsets of vertices by size and number of internal and boundary edges. Aliste-Prieto et al. proved that $\mathbf{G}_T$…

Given a graph $G$, a labeling of $G$ is an injective function $f:V(G)\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}$. Under the labeling $f$, the label of a vertex $v$ is $f(v)$, and the induced label of an edge $uv$ is $|f(u) - f(v)|$. The labeling $f$ is…

In graph theory, a graceful labeling of a graph with m edges is a labeling of its vertices with a subset of the integers ranging from 0 to m inclusive, such that no two vertices share a label, and each edge is uniquely identified by the…

A \emph{graceful labeling} of a graph $G$ is an injective function $f : V(G) \to \{0, \ldots, |E(G)|\}$ such that $\{\,|f(u)-f(v)| : uv \in E(G)\,\} = \{1, \ldots, |E(G)|\}$. If such a labeling exists, then we call $G$ \emph{graceful}.…

For a graph $G$ and an abelian group $A$, a labeling of the vertices of $G$ induces a labeling of the edges via the sum of adjacent vertex labels. Hovey introduced the notion of an $A$-cordial vertex labeling when both the vertex and edge…

The concept of sum labelling was introduced in 1990 by Harary. A graph is a sum graph if its vertices can be labelled by distinct positive integers in such a way that two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the sum of their…

In a 1995 paper Richard Stanley defined $X_G$, the symmetric chromatic polynomial of a Graph $G=(V,E)$. He then conjectured that $X_G$ distinguishes trees; a conjecture which still remains open. $X_G$ can be represented as a certain…

Given a spanning tree $T$ of a planar graph $G$, the co-tree of $T$ is the spanning tree of the dual graph $G^*$ with edge set $(E(G)-E(T))^*$. Gr\"unbaum conjectured in 1970 that every planar 3-connected graph $G$ contains a spanning tree…
