Let T be a tree of order n. For any edge labeling f : E → {1, 2, 3, ...} the weight of a path P is the sum of the labels of the edges of P and is denoted by w(P). If the weights of the n C 2 paths in T are exactly 1, 2,..., n C 2 , then f is called a Leech labeling and a tree which admits a Leech labeling is called a Leech tree. In this paper we determine all Leech trees having diameter three. We also prove that the tree obtained from the path P n = (v 1 , v 2 , ..., v n) by attaching a pendent vertex at v n−1 is not a Leech tree for all n ≥ 4.
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.
