1. Introduction
Throughout this paper, we consider connected graphs without loops or multiple edges. For a graph
and
are used to denote the vertex set and edge set of
and
denote the minimum degree and the maximum degree of a graph G, respectively. For a vertex
, the neighborhood of v in G is
is adjacent to v in
. Vertices in
are called neighbors of v,
denotes the number of vertices in
. The other terminology and notations are referred to [1].
For a given graph G, an integer
, an
- labeling of G is defined as a function
such that
if
; and
if
, where
, the distance of u and v, is the length (number of edges) of a shortest path between u and v. the
-labeling number, denoted
, is the least integer
such that G has a
-labeling.
The Motivated by the channel assignment problem introduced by Hale in [2], the
labeling have been studied extensively in the past decade. In 1992, in [3] Griggs and Yeh proposed the famous conjecture, for any graph
.
Griggs and Yeh in [3] proved that the conjecture true fop path, tree, circle, wheel and the graph with diameter 2, G. J. chang and David Kuo in [4] proved that
for any graph. Recently Kral D and Skrekovski R in [5] proved the upper is
. It is difficult to prove the conjecture. Now, the study of
- labeling is focus on special graph. Georges [6,7] give some good results. Zhang and Ma studied the labeling of some special graph, giving some good results in [8-11].
In this paper, we studied the
-labeling number of the product and the join graph on two fans.
