An improved bound for equitable proper labellings

From MaRDI portal





In this paper, the authors prove that for every graph \(G\) with size \(m\) and no connected component isomorphic to \(K_2\), for \(L = (1, 1, 2, 2,\ldots ,\lfloor m/2\rfloor + 2, \lfloor m/2\rfloor + 2)\), we can assign labels of \(L\) to the edges of \(G\) in an injective way so that no two adjacent vertices of \(G\) are incident to the same sum of labels. This implies that every such graph with size \(m\) can be labelled in an equitable and proper way with labels from \(\{1,\ldots ,\lfloor m/2\rfloor + 2 \}\), which improves on a result proved by \textit{J. Haslegrave} [Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. 20, No. 1, Paper No. 18, 14 p. (2018; Zbl 1401.05260)], and \textit{K. S. Lyngsie} and \textit{L. Zhong} [Graphs Comb. 34, No. 6, 1363--1369 (2018; Zbl 1402.05186)], implying this can be achieved with labels from \(\{1,\ldots ,m\}\). Different questions and problems of independent interest for further work on the topic conclude the paper.
