We introduce the multiplicity-free gonality of a graph, which restricts our consideration to divisors that place at most 1 chip on each vertex. We give a sufficient condition in terms of vertex-connectivity for these two versions of gonality to be equal; and we show that no function of gonality can bound multiplicity-free gonality, even for simple graphs. We also prove that multiplicity-free gonality is NP-hard to compute, while still determining it for graph families for which gonality is currently unknown. We also present new gonalities, such as for the wheel graphs.","PeriodicalId":43771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135321968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Graceful labeling on a graph G is an injective function f : V ( G ) → { 0 , 1 , 2 , . . . , | E ( G ) |} such that, when each edge uv ∈ E ( G ) is assigned the label | f ( u ) − f ( v ) | the resulting edge labels are distinct. If graph G has graceful labeling then G is called a graceful graph. Rosa also introduced α − labeling on graph G which is a graceful labeling f with an additional condition that there is λ ∈ { 1 , 2 , . . . , | E ( G ) |} so that for every edge uv ∈ E ( G ) where f ( u ) < f ( v ) then f ( u ) ≤ λ < f ( v ) .

It is known from D'enes' results that the permutation of a tree is a full cyclic for any edge ordering. As a corollary, D'enes counted up the number of representations of a full cyclic permutation by means of product of the minimal number of transpositions. Moreover, a graph with an edge ordering which the permutation is a full cyclic is characterized by graph embedding. In this article, we consider an analogy of these results for signed graphs and hyperoctahedral groups. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a signed graph to have an edge ordering such that the permutation is an even (or odd) full cyclic. We show that the edge ordering of the signed tree with some loops always gives an even (or odd) full cyclic permutation and count up the number of representations of an odd full cyclic permutation by means of product of the minimal number of transpositions.","PeriodicalId":43771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications","volume":"7 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135322950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
