It is easily observed that the vertices of a simple graph cannot have pairwise distinct degrees. This means that no simple graph of the order of at least two is, in this way, irregular. However, a multigraph can be irregular. Chartrand et al., in 1988, posed the following problem: in a loopless multigraph, how can one determine the fewest parallel edges required to ensure that all vertices have distinct degrees? This problem is known as the graph labeling problem and, for its solution, Chartrand et al. introduced irregular assignments. The irregularity strength of a graph G is known as the maximal edge label used in an irregular assignment, minimized over all irregular assignments. Thus, the irregularity strength of a simple graph G is equal to the smallest maximum multiplicity of an edge of G in order to create an irregular multigraph from G. In the present paper, we show the existence of a required irregular labeling scheme that proves the exact value of the irregularity strength of wheels. Then, we modify this irregular mapping in six cases and obtain labelings that determine the exact value of the modular irregularity strength of wheels as a natural modification of the irregularity strength.

For a simple graph G with no isolated edges and at most, one isolated vertex, a labeling φ:E(G)→{1,2,…,k} of positive integers to the edges of G is called irregular if the weights of the vertices, defined as wtφ(v)=∑u∈N(v)φ(uv), are all different. The irregularity strength of a graph G is known as the maximal integer k, minimized over all irregular labelings, and is set to ∞ if no such labeling exists. In this paper, we determine the exact value of the irregularity strength and the modular irregularity strength of fan graphs.

A simple graph [Formula: see text] admits an [Formula: see text]-covering if every edge in [Formula: see text] belongs to at least one subgraph of [Formula: see text] isomorphic to a given graph [Formula: see text]. The graph [Formula: see text] admits an [Formula: see text]-irregular total[Formula: see text]-labeling [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] admits an [Formula: see text]-covering and for every two different subgraphs [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] isomorphic to [Formula: see text], there is [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the associated [Formula: see text]-weight. The total[Formula: see text]-irregularity strength of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give the exact values of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. For the versions edge and vertex [Formula: see text]-irregularity strength [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, we determine the exact values of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the diamond graph.

For a simple graph G with a vertex set V G and an edge set E G , a labeling f : V G ∪ ​ E G ⟶ 1,2 , ⋯ , k is called a vertex irregular total k − labeling of G if for any two different vertices x and y in V G we have w t x ≠ w t y where w t x = f x + ∑ u ∈ V G f x u . The smallest positive integer k such that G has a vertex irregular total k − labeling is called the total vertex irregularity strength of G , denoted by tvs G . The lower bound of tvs G for any graph G have been found by Baca et. al. In this paper, we determined the exact value of the total vertex irregularity strength of the hexagonal cluster graph on n cluster for n ≥ 2 . Moreover, we show that the total vertex irregularity strength of the hexagonal cluster graph on n cluster is 3 n 2 + 1 / 2 .

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text], respectively. An edge irregular [Formula: see text]-labeling of [Formula: see text] is a labeling of [Formula: see text] with labels from the set [Formula: see text] in such a way that for any two different edges [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], their weights [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are distinct. The weight of an edge [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is the sum of the labels of the end vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The minimum [Formula: see text] for which the graph [Formula: see text] has an edge irregular [Formula: see text]-labeling is called the edge irregularity strength of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the exact value of edge irregularity strength of corona product of graphs with cycle.

A labeling of a graph is a mapping that maps some set of graph elements to a set of numbers (usually positive integers).  For a simple graph G = (V, E) with vertex set V and edge set E, a labeling  Φ: V ∪ E → {1, 2, ..., k} is called total k-labeling. The associated vertex weight of a vertex x∈ V under a total k-labeling  Φ is defined as wt(x) = Φ(x) + ∑y∈N(x) Φ(xy) where N(x) is the set of neighbors of the vertex x. A total k-labeling is defined to be a vertex irregular total labeling of a graph, if for every two different vertices x and y of G, wt(x)≠wt(y). The minimum k for which  a graph G has a vertex irregular total k-labeling is called the total vertex irregularity strength of G, tvs(G). In this paper, total vertex irregularity strength of interval graphs is studied. In particular, an efficient algorithm is designed to compute tvs of proper interval graphs and bounds of tvs is presented for interval graphs.

Graph labeling is considered as one of the most interesting areas in graph theory. A labeling for a simple graph G (numbering or valuation), is an association of non -negative integers to vertices of G  (vertex labeling) or to edges of G  (edge labeling) or both of them. In this paper we study the graceful labeling for the k- uniform hypertree and define a condition for the corresponding tree to be graceful. A k- uniform hypertree is graceful if the minimum difference of vertices’ labels of each edge is distinct and each one is the label of the corresponding edge.

We investigate a graph labeling called the total vertex irregularity strength (tvs(G)). A tvs(G) is minimum for which graph has a vertex irregular total -labeling. In this paper, we determine the total vertex irregularity strength of disjoint union of ladder rung graph and disjoint union of domino graph.

Graph labeling is the mapping of elements of a graph (which can be vertices, edges, faces or a combination) to a set of numbers. The mapping usually produces partial sums (weights) of the labeled elements of the graph, and they often have an asymmetrical distribution. In this paper, we study vertex–face and edge–face labelings of two-connected plane graphs. We introduce two new graph characteristics, namely the vertex–face H-irregularity strength and edge–face H-irregularity strength of plane graphs. Estimations of these characteristics are obtained, and exact values for two families of graphs are determined.

Abstract A labeling of edges and vertices of a simple graph 𝐺(𝑉,𝐸) by a mapping Ŧ:𝑉(𝐺) ∪ 𝐸(𝐺)→{ 1,2,3,…,Ћ} provided that any two pair of edges have distinct weights is called an edge irregular total Ћ-labeling. If Ћ is minimum and 𝐺 admits an edge irregular total Ћ -labelling, then Ћ is called the total edge irregularity strength (TEIS) and denoted by 𝑡𝑒𝑠(𝐺). In this paper, the definitions of the heptagonal snake graph HPSn ,the double heptagonal snake graph 𝐷(HPSn) and an 𝑙−multiple heptagonal snake graph 𝐿(HPSn) have been introduced. The exact value of TEISs for the new family has also been investigated.
