Abstract
An assignment of integer numbers to the vertices of a given graph under certain conditions is referred to as a graph labeling. The assignment of labels from the set {0,1,2,...,2q-1} to the vertices of G (with n=|V(G)| vertices and q=|E(G)|edges) such that, when each edge has assigned a label defined by the absolute difference of its end-points, the resulting edge labels are {1,3...,2q-1} is referred to as an odd graceful labeling of the graph. In 2000, Kathiresan [13] used the notation Pn;m to denote the graph (spider graph) obtained by identifying the end points of m paths each one has length n , we use the notation Cn;m to denote the graph (closed spider) obtained by identifying the other end points of the graph Pn;m. In this article, we present three algorithms to show how to odd gracefully label the vertices and the edges of the following graphs;P2r+1;m, 1≤ r ≤ 5, m ≥ 2, the closed spider Cn;m, and the graphs obtained by joining one or two paths Pm to each vertex of the path Pn.
