Suppose $ G $ is a graph, where $ G = \{V (G), E (G) \} $. Graceful coloring is defined by $ c: V (G) \to \{1,2, ..., k \} $ which induces a proper edge coloring $ c': E (G) \to \{1,2, ..., k- 1 \}$ defined by $c'(xy)=|c(x)-c(y)|$, where $ k \geq 2 $, $ k \in N $. Coloring is said to be graceful if these 3 conditions are satisfied, namely the proper vertex color, the proper edge color, and the edge color, which are the absolute difference between the color of the accident vertex. The subgraph $H$ on that graceful coloring is smaller than the $G$. Furthermore, one of the subgraphs in the unicyclic graph family is a cycle graph. The graceful chromatic number on a graph denoted by $ \chi_g (G) $, is the optimum number of graceful colors from graph $G$. This research aims to find graceful chromatic numbers in the unicyclic graph family, namely bull graphs, net graphs, cricket graphs, caveman graphs, peach graphs, and flowerpot graphs. The results of this study indicate that $\chi_g(C_l) \geq 4$, where $C_l$ is a unicyclic graphs.
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.
