Title
A note on adjacent vertex distinguishing colorings of graphs
Abstract
For an assignment of numbers to the vertices of a graph, let S u be the sum of the labels of all the vertices in the closed neighborhood of u , for a vertex u . Such an assignment is called closed distinguishing if S u ¿ S v for any two adjacent vertices u and v unless the closed neighborhoods of u and v coincide. In this note we investigate dis G , the smallest integer k such that there is a closed distinguishing labeling of G using labels from { 1 , ¿ , k } . We prove that dis G ¿ Δ 2 - Δ + 1 , where Δ is the maximum degree of G . This result is sharp. We also consider a list-version of the function dis G and give a number of related results.
