Topological Integer Additive Set-Sequential Graphs

Let $\mathbb{N}_0$ denote the set of all non-negative integers and $X$ be any non-empty subset of $\mathbb{N}_0$. Denote the power set of $X$ by $\mathcal{P}(X)$. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph $G$ is an injective set-valued function $f:V(G)\to \mathcal{P}(X)$ such that the induced function $f^+:E(G) \to \mathcal{P}(X)$ is defined by $f^+ (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$, where $f(u)+f(v)$ is the sumset of $f(u)$ and $f(v)$. If the associated set-valued edge function $f^+$ is also injective, then such an IASL is called an integer additive set-indexer (IASI). An IASL $f$ is said to be a topological IASL (TIASL) if $f(V(G))\cup \{\emptyset\}$ is a topology of the ground set $X$. An IASL is said to be an integer additive set-sequential labeling (IASSL) if $f(V(G))\cup f^+(E(G))= \mathcal{P}(X)-\{\emptyset\}$. An IASL of a given graph $G$ is said to be a topological integer additive set-sequential labeling of $G$, if it is a topological integer additive set-labeling as well as an integer additive set-sequential labeling of $G$. In this paper, we study the conditions required for a graph $G$ to admit this type of IASL and propose some important characteristics of the graphs which admit this type of IASLs.

On the Curling Number of Certain Graphs

In this paper, we introduce the concept of curling subsequence of simple, finite and connected graphs. A curling subsequence is a maximal subsequence $C$ of the degree sequence of a simple connected graph $G$ for which the curling number $cn(G)$ corresponds to the curling number of the degree sequence per se and hence we call it the curling number of the graph $G$. A maximal degree subsequence with equal entries is called an identity subsequence. The number of identity curling subsequences in a simple connected graph $G$ is denoted $ic(G).$ We show that the curling number conjecture holds for the degree sequence of a simple connected graph $G$ on $n \geq 1$ vertices. We also introduce the notion of the compound curling number of a simple connected graph $G$ and then initiate a study on the curling number of certain standard graphs like Jaco graphs and set-graphs.
