Abstract
Let η≥3 be an odd integer. For a simple connected graph G of order n, a bijective function f:V(G)→{1,2,…,n} is called Euler cordial labeling modulo η if the induced function fη*:E(G)→{0,1}, defined by fη* (uv)=0 whenever \(\frac{[f(a)+f(b)]^ϕ(η) -1}{n}\) is even or f(a)+f(b) and η are not relatively prime, and fη* (uv)=1 whenever \(\frac{[f(a)+f(b)]^ϕ(η) -1}{n}\) is odd, satisfies the condition |efη* ) (0)-efη* ) (1)|≤1 where efη* ) (i) is the number of edges with label i (i=0,1). This study explores the Euler cordial labeling of path graphs, star graphs, complete bipartite graphs, bistar graphs, alternate cycle snake graphs, m-tuple star graphs, and book graphs. The path graphs Pη and P2η, the alternate cycle snake graph Am (Cη ) (if gcd((η+3)/2,η)= 1), and the book graph Bη,2q (if gcd((η+5)/2,η)=1) were determined to admit Euler cordial labeling modulo η, where η is an odd integer with η≥3. Moreover, the star graphs Sp and S2p-1, the complete bipartite graph Kq(p-1),q, the bistar graph Bp,p, and the m-tuple star graph Sm,p admit Euler cordial labeling modulo p, where p is an odd prime.
