Some new results on integer additive set-valued signed graphs

Abstract

Let X denotes a set of non-negative integers and P(X) be its power set. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph G is an injective set-valued function f : V (G) → P(X) − {∅} such that the induced function f+ : E(G) → P(X) − {∅} is defined by f+(uv) = f(u) + f(v); ∀ uv ∈ E(G), where f(u) + f(v) is the sumset of f(u) and f(v). An IASL of a signed graph is an IASL of its underlying graph G together with the signature σ defined by σ(uv) = (−1)|f+(uv)|; ∀ uv ∈ E(Σ). In this paper, we discuss certain characteristics of the signed graphs which admits certain types of integer additive set-labelings.
