Let G be a connected, simple, and undirected graph with a vertex set V(G) and an edge set E(G). Total k-labeling is a function fe
from the edge set to the first ke
natural number, and a function fv
from the vertex set to the non negative even number up to 2kv, where k = max{ke
, 2kv
}. An edge irregular reflexive k labeling of the graph G is the total k-labeling, if for every two different edges x

. The minimum k for graph G which has an edge irregular reflexive k-labelling is called the reflexive edge strength of the graph G, denoted by res(G). In this paper, we determined the exact value of the reflexive edge strength of family trees, namely generalized sub-divided star graph, broom graphs, and double star graph.
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.
