Abstract

Let G be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. A vertex labelling f:V{0,1} induces an edge labelling f¯:E{0,1} defined by f¯(uv)=|f(u)f(v)|. Let vf(0),vf(1) denote the number of vertices v with f(v)=0 and f(v)=1 respectively. Let ef(0),ef(1) be similarly defined. A graph is said to be cordial if there exists a vertex labeling f such that |vf(0)vf(1)|1 and |ef(0)ef(1)|1. In this paper, we show that for every positive integer t and n the following families are cordial: (1) Helms Hn. (2) Flower graphs FLn. (3) Gear graphs Gn. (4) Sunflower graphs SFLn. (5) Closed helms CHn. (6) Generalised closed helms CH(t,n). (7) Generalised webs W(t,n).
