Abstract: If ell:V(G)ightarrowmathbbN is a vertex labeling of a graph G=(V(G),E(G)), then the d-lucky sum of a vertex uinV(G) is dell(u)=dG(u)+sumvinN(u)ell(v). The labeling ell is a d-lucky labeling if dell(u)eqdell(v) for every uvinE(G). The d-lucky number etadl(G) of G is the least positive integer k such that G has a d-lucky labeling V(G)ightarrow[k]. A general lower bound on the d-lucky number of a graph in terms of its clique number and related degree invariants is proved. The bound is sharp as demonstrated with an infinite family of corona graphs. The d-lucky number is also determined for the so-called Gn,m-web graphs and graphs obtained by attaching the same number of pendant vertices to the vertices of a generalized cocktail-party graph.
