A Study on Integer Additive Set-Graceful Graphs

A set-labeling of a graph $G$ is an injective function $f:V(G)\to \mathcal{P}(X)$, where $X$ is a finite set and a set-indexer of $G$ is a set-labeling such that the induced function $f^{\oplus}:E(G)\rightarrow \mathcal{P}(X)-\{\emptyset\}$ defined by $f^{\oplus}(uv) = f(u){\oplus}f(v)$ for every $uv{\in} E(G)$ is also injective. An integer additive set-labeling is an injective function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$, $\mathbb{N}_0$ is the set of all non-negative integers and an integer additive set-indexer is an integer additive set-labeling such that the induced function $f^+:E(G) \rightarrow \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ defined by $f^+ (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$ is also injective. In this paper, we extend the concepts of set-graceful labeling to integer additive set-labelings of graphs and provide some results on them.Comment: 11 pages, submitted to JARP

A Study on Integer Additive Set-Valuations of Signed Graphs

Let $\N$ denote the set of all non-negative integers and \cP(\N) be its power set. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph $G$ is an injective set-valued function f:V(G)\to \cP(\N)-\{\emptyset\} such that the induced function f^+:E(G) \to \cP(\N)-\{\emptyset\} is defined by $f^+ (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$, where $f(u)+f(v)$ is the sumset of $f(u)$ and $f(v)$. A graph which admits an IASL is usually called an IASL-graph. An IASL $f$ of a graph $G$ is said to be an integer additive set-indexer (IASI) of $G$ if the associated function $f^+$ is also injective. In this paper, we define the notion of integer additive set-labeling of signed graphs and discuss certain properties of signed graphs which admits certain types of integer additive set-labelings.Comment: 12 pages, Carpathian Mathematical Publications, Vol. 8, Issue 2, 2015, 12 page

A Study on Topological Integer Additive Set-Labeling of Graphs

A set-labeling of a graph $G$ is an injective function $f:V(G)\to \mathcal{P}(X)$, where $X$ is a finite set and a set-indexer of $G$ is a set-labeling such that the induced function $f^{\oplus}:E(G)\to \mathcal{P}(X)-\{\emptyset\}$ defined by $f^{\oplus}(uv) = f(u){\oplus}f(v)$ for every $uv{\in} E(G)$ is also injective. Let $G$ be a graph and let $X$ be a non-empty set. A set-indexer $f:V(G)\to \mathcal{P}(X)$ is called a topological set-labeling of $G$ if $f(V(G))$ is a topology of $X$. An integer additive set-labeling is an injective function $f:V(G)\to \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$, whose associated function $f^+:E(G)\to \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ is defined by $f(uv)=f(u)+f(v), uv\in E(G)$, where $\mathbb{N}_0$ is the set of all non-negative integers and $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ is its power set. An integer additive set-indexer is an integer additive set-labeling such that the induced function $f^+:E(G) \to \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ defined by $f^+ (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$ is also injective. In this paper, we extend the concepts of topological set-labeling of graphs to topological integer additive set-labeling of graphs.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, Accepted for publication. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1403.398

A Characterisation of Weak Integer Additive Set-Indexers of Graphs

An integer additive set-indexer is defined as an injective function $f:V(G)\rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{N}_0}$ such that the induced function $g_f:E(G) \rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{N}_0}$ defined by $g_f (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$ is also injective. An integer additive set-indexer is said to be $k$-uniform if $|g_f(e)| = k$ for all $e\in E(G)$. An integer additive set-indexer $f$ is said to be a weak integer additive set-indexer if $|g_f(uv)|=max(|f(u)|,|f(v)|)$ for all $u,v\in V(G)$. In this paper, we study the characteristics of certain graphs and graph classes which admit weak integer additive set-indexers.Comment: 12pages, 4 figures, arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1311.085

Strong Integer Additive Set-valued Graphs: A Creative Review

For a non-empty ground set $X$, finite or infinite, the {\em set-valuation} or {\em set-labeling} of a given graph $G$ is an injective function $f:V(G) \to \mathcal{P}(X)$, where $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is the power set of the set $X$. A set-indexer of a graph $G$ is an injective set-valued function $f:V(G) \to \mathcal{P}(X)$ such that the function $f^{\ast}:E(G)\to \mathcal{P}(X)-\{\emptyset\}$ defined by $f^{\ast}(uv) = f(u){\ast} f(v)$ for every $uv{\in} E(G)$ is also injective., where $\ast$ is a binary operation on sets. An integer additive set-indexer is defined as an injective function $f:V(G)\to \mathcal{P}({\mathbb{N}_0})$ such that the induced function $g_f:E(G) \to \mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ defined by $g_f (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$ is also injective, where $\mathbb{N}_0$ is the set of all non-negative integers and $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ is its power set. An IASI $f$ is said to be a strong IASI if $|f^+(uv)|=|f(u)|\,|f(v)|$ for every pair of adjacent vertices $u,v$ in $G$. In this paper, we critically and creatively review the concepts and properties of strong integer additive set-valued graphs.Comment: 13 pages, Published. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1407.4677, arXiv:1405.4788, arXiv:1310.626
