Let Γ=(VΓ,EΓ) be a simple undirected graph with finite vertex set VΓ and edge set EΓ. A total n-labeling α:VΓ∪EΓ→{1,2,…,n} is called a total edge irregular labeling on Γ if for any two different edges xy and x′y′ in EΓ the numbers α(x)+α(xy)+α(y) and α(x′)+α(x′y′)+α(y′) are distinct. The smallest positive integer n such that Γ can be labeled by a total edge irregular labeling is called the total edge irregularity strength of the graph Γ. In this paper, we provide the total edge irregularity strength of some asymmetric graphs and some symmetric graphs, namely generalized arithmetic staircase graphs and generalized double-staircase graphs, as the generalized forms of some existing staircase graphs. Moreover, we give the construction of the corresponding total edge irregular labelings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
