An assignment of positive integer weights to the edges of a simple graph G is called irregular, if the weighted degrees of the vertices are all different. The irregularity strength, s(G), is the maximal weight, minimized over all irregular assignments. In this study, we show that s(G) c 1 n /, for graphs with maximum degree Á n 1=2 and minimum ------------------
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.
