Title
Constructing New Families Of Transmission Irregular Graphs
Abstract
The transmission of a vertex v of a graph G is the sum of distances from v to all the other vertices in G. A graph is transmission irregular if all of its vertices have pairwise different transmissions. A starlike tree T(k(1), ..., k(t)) is a tree obtained by attaching to an isolated vertex t pendant paths of lengths k(1), ..., k(t), respectively. It is proved that if a starlike tree T(a, a + 1, ..., a + k), k >= 2, is of odd order, then it is transmission irregular. T(1, 2, ..., l) l >= 3, is transmission irregular if and only if l is not an element of {r(2)+1 : r >= 2}. Additional infinite families among the starlike trees and bi-starlike trees are determined. Transmission irregular unicyclic infinite families are also presented, in particular, the line graph of T(a, a + 1, a + 2), a >= 2, is transmission irregular if and only if a is even.
