Even vertex odd mean labeling of graphs

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a new type of labeling known as even vertex odd mean labeling. A graph G with p vertices and q edges is said to have an even vertex odd mean labeling if there exists an injective function f : V (G) → {0, 2, 4, . . . , 2q−2, 2q} such that the induced map f∗ : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q− 1} defined by f∗(uv) = f(u)+f(v) 2 is a bijection. A graph that admits an even vertex odd mean labeling is called an even vertex odd mean graph. Here we investigate the even vertex odd mean behaviour of some standard graphs.
