Abstract:

We prove the following necessary conditions for signed graphs on complete graphs to admit additive graceful labelings, thus considerably narrowing down the search for such labelings. If a signed graph on a complete graph \(K_p, ~p\not = 4\), with \(n\) negative and \(m\) positive edges, admits an additively graceful labeling, then (1) \(p\), \(p-2\) or \(p-4\) must be a perfect square, (2) If \(p\) is a perfect square then, both \(m\) and \(n\) are even, (3) If \(p-4\) is a perfect square then, both \(m\) and \(n\) are odd, (4) If \(p-2\) is a perfect square then, \(m\) and \(n\) have opposite parity and (5) The number of odd and even labeled vertices in \(S\) are \(\frac{p+\sqrt{p-i}}{2}\) and \(\frac{p-\sqrt{p-i}}{2}\) according as \(p-i\) is a perfect square, \(i=0,2\) or \(4\). We also provide an example to show that, if a signed graph \(S\) with no negative edges is additively graceful then, \(S\) as a graph need not be graceful. Interestingly, this example also settles 3 more open problems concerning gracefulness and edge consecutive gracefulness (ecg), thereby demonstrating that ecg or \(m\)-gracefulness is not a reliable measure of gracefulness.

Abstract:

A (3, 6)-fullerene is a cubic planar graph whose faces all have 3 or 6 sides. We give an exact enumeration of (3, 6)-fullerenes with V vertices. We also enumerate (3, 6)-fullerenes with mirror symmetry, with 3-fold rotational symmetry, and with both types of symmetry. The resulting formulas are expressed in terms of the prime factorization of V.
