A digraph D with p vertices and q arcs is labeled by assigning a distinct integer value g(v) from f0, 1, :::, qg to each vertex v. The vertex values, in turn, induce a value g(u, v) on each arc (u, v) where g(u, v) ¼ (g(v) À g(u)) (mod q þ 1) If the arc values are all distinct then the labeling is called a graceful labeling of digraph. In this survey article, we have collected results that we could find interesting on graceful labeling of digraphs.
A directional labeling of an edge uv in a graph G = (V, E) by an ordered pair ab is a labeling of the edge uv such that the label on uv in the direction from u to v is ℓ(uv) = ab, and ℓ(vu) = ba. New characterizations of 2-colorable (bipartite) and 3-colorable graphs are obtained in terms of directional labeling of edges of a graph by ordered pairs ab and ba. In addition we obtain characterizations of 2-colorable and 3-colorable graphs in terms of matrices called directional adjacency matrices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
