FACE ANTI-MAGIC LABELINGS AND DEFICIENCY OF GRAPHS

Abstract

Labeling of graph is a beautiful and rich technique of Mathematics. It has extensive usage in applications such as data transmission, x-ray, circuit design, astronomy, communication links and coding theory. A labeling of a graph is a mapping that carries some set of graph elements into (usually positive integers). An ) , ( d a face anti-magic total labeling of a graph, with p vertices, q edges and f faces, is a one-to-one mapping that takes the vertices, edges and faces into }, , , 2 , 1 { f q p such that the sums of the label on the edges, vertices and faces form an arithmetic progression starting at a and having difference . d An edge magic total labeling of a graph G is a one-to-one mapping from ) ( ) ( G E G V onto the integers }, , , 2 , 1 { q p with the property that there is an integer constant k such that k y xy x ) ( ) ( ) ( for any ).
