Distinguishing number and distinguishing index of neighbourhood corona of two graphs

Abstract: The distinguishing number (index)

D (G)

(

D^{'} (G)

) of a graph

G

is the least integer

d

such that

G

has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with

d

labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The neighbourhood corona of two graphs

G_{1}

and

G_{2}

is denoted by

G_{1} s t a r G_{2}

and is the graph obtained by taking one copy of

G_{1}

and

| V (G_{1}) |

copies of

G_{2}

, and joining the neighbours of the

i

th vertex of

G_{1}

to every vertex in the

i

th copy of

G_{2}

. In this paper we describe the automorphisms of the graph

G_{1} s t a r G_{2}

. Using results on automorphisms, we study the distinguishing number and the distinguishing index of

G_{1} s t a r G_{2}

. We obtain upper bounds for

D (G_{1} s t a r G_{2})

and

D^{'} (G_{1} s t a r G_{2})

.
