Abstract:

The graph marked Fn,4 that is formed by n pieces of 4cycles with one common vertice in order. Let ui1 and ui2 be two vertices in graph Fn,4, which connect ui1 and ui2 with m paths of length 2 for ui1vijui2(i,j=1,2,…,n). The resulting graphs are denoted as m-Fn,4. Let G represent the graph obtained by connecting every vertex of graph m-Fn,4 isolated vertex w to an edge of it. Let m-Fn,4+En(m+1) be the graph obtained from G by attaching n(m+1) pendent edges to the vertex w of graph G. The constructor method gives graceful labeling of m-Fn,4 and m-Fn,4+En(m+1), thus proving graceful graphs m-Fn,4 and m-Fn,4+En(m+1). Thus, a series of graceful graphs can be constructed from one graceful graph.

Key words: 4-cycles, graceful graph, graceful labeling
