A sum divisor cordial labeling of a graph with vertex set is a bijection from to such that an edge is assigned the label if divides and otherwise; and the number of edges labeled with and the number of edges labeled with differ by at most . A graph with a sum divisor cordial labeling is called a sum divisor cordial graph. In this paper, we discuss the sum divisor cordial labeling of transformed tree related graphs.

1. Introduction
All graphs considered here are simple, finite, connected and
undirected. The vertex set and the edge set of a graph are denoted by
and respectively. We follow the basic
notations and terminology of graph theory as in [1]. A labeling of a graph is a map that carries the
graph elements to the set of numbers, usually to the set of non-negative
or positive integers. If the domain is the set of vertices then the
labeling is called vertex labeling. If the domain is the set of edges
then the labeling is called edge labeling. If the labels are assigned to
both vertices and edges then the labeling is called total labeling. A
detailed survey of graph labeling is available in [2]. The concept of cordial labeling was introduced
by Cahit in [3].
Lourdusamy et al. introduced the concept of sum divisor cordial labeling
in [4]. They prove that
paths, combs, stars, complete bipartite, , bistars, jewels, crowns,
flowers, gears, subdivisions of stars, the graph obtained from by attaching the root of at each pendent vertex of , and the square are sum divisor cordial graphs.
Also they discussed the sum divisor labeling of star related graphs,
path related graphs and cycle related graphs in [5,6, 7].
In [8, 9, 10, 11],
Sugumaran et al. investigated the behaviour of sum divisor cordial
labeling of swastiks, path unions of finite number of copies of
swastiks, cycles of copies of
swastiks, when is odd, jelly
fish, Petersen graphs, theta graphs, the fusion of any two vertices in
the cycle of swastiks, duplication of any vertex in the cycle of
swastiks, the switchings of a central vertex in swastiks, the path
unions of two copies of a swastik, the star graph of the theta graphs,
the Herschel graph, the fusion of any two adjacent vertices of degree 3
in Herschel graphs, the duplication of any vertex of degree 3 in the
Herschel graph, the switching of central vertex in Herschel graph, the
path union of two copies of the Herschel graph, -graph , when is odd, , and
open star of swastik graphs , when is odd.
In [12, 13, 14, 15] Sugumaran
et al. proved that the following graphs are sum divisor cordial graphs:
-graph , when is even, duplication of all edges of
the -graph , when is even, , , , plus graphs, umbrella graphs,
path unions of odd cycles, kites, complete binary trees, drums graph,
twigs, fire crackers of the form , where is even,
and the double arrow graph , where and is even. Further results on sum divisor
cordial labeling are given in [16, 17].
In this paper, we discuss the sum divisor cordial labeling of
transformed tree related graphs like , , , , , and . We use the following definitions in the subsequent
sections.
Definition 1. Let be a simple graph and

and in such that the length of path is equal to the length of

transformation (or an ept) and the edge is called transformable
edge.
If by the sequence of ept’s,
can be reduced to a path, then is
called a -tree (transformed
tree) and such a sequence regarded as a composition of mappings (ept’s)
denoted by , is called a parallel
transformation of . The path, the
image of under is denoted as .
