    Metastable States in Two-Lane Traffic Flow Models With Slow-To-Start Rule

    Using computer simulations, we show that metastable states still occur in two-lane traffic models with slow to start rules. However, these metastable states no longer exist in systems where aggressive drivers (\textit{which do not look back before changing lanes}) are present. Indeed, the presence of only one aggressive driver in the circuit, triggers the breakdown of the high flow states. In these systems, the steady state is unique and its relaxation dynamics should depend on the lane changing probability pchp_{ch} and the number of aggressive drivers present in the circuit. It is found also that the relaxation time τ\tau diverges as the form of a power-law : τpchβ,β=1\tau\propto p_{ch}^{-\beta}, \beta=1.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure

    An Algorithm for Odd Graceful Labeling of the Union of Paths and Cycles

    In 1991, Gnanajothi [4] proved that the path graph P_n with n vertex and n-1 edge is odd graceful, and the cycle graph C_m with m vertex and m edges is odd graceful if and only if m even, she proved the cycle graph is not graceful if m odd. In this paper, firstly, we studied the graph C_m \cup P_m when m = 4, 6,8,10 and then we proved that the graph C_ \cup P_n is odd graceful if m is even. Finally, we described an algorithm to label the vertices and the edges of the vertex set V(C_m \cup P_n) and the edge set E(C_m \cup P_n).Comment: 9 Pages, JGraph-Hoc Journa
