A distance irregular k-labeling of a graph G is a function f : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , k} such that the weights of all vertices are distinct. The weight of a vertex v, denoted by wt(v), is the sum of labels of all vertices adjacent to v (distance 1 from v), that is, wt(v) = P u∈N(v) f(u). If the graph G admits a distance irregular labeling then G is called a distance irregular graph. The distance irregularity strength of G is the minimum k for which G has a distance irregular k-labeling and is denoted by dis(G). In this paper, we derive a new lower bound of distance irregularity strength for graphs with t pendant vertices. We also determine the distance irregularity strength of some families of disconnected graphs namely disjoint union of paths, suns, helms and friendships.
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.
