Abstract

Figueroa-Centeno, Ichishima, and Muntaner-Batle [3, 4] proved some results on felicitous graphs and raised the following conjectures:

  1. The one-point union of m copies of Cn is felicitous if and only if mn2(mod4).
  2. mCn is felicitous if and only if mn2(mod4).

In this paper, the conjectures are partially settled by proving the following results:

  1. For any odd positive integers m and n, the one-point union of m copies of Cn is felicitous if mn1,3.
  2. For any positive integer m, the one-point union of m copies of C4 is felicitous.
  3. For any two odd positive integers m and n, mCn is felicitous if mn1,3(mod4).
  4. For any positive integer m, mC4 is felicitous.
