Abstract: 

In a graph $G$, define Pell labeling is a map $f: V(G) \rightarrow\{0,1, \cdots, p-1\}$ with an induced function $f^*: E(G) \rightarrow N$ defined by $f^*(u v)=f(u)+2 f(v)$ for every $u v \in E(G)$ are all distinct where $u, v \leq 0$. In addition to this a graph which admits Pell labeling concept is known as Pell graph. In this paper, the Pell labeling concepts applied for the following graphs such as splitting of Star, cycle with parallel chords, alternate double triangular Snake, ladder, Triangular ladder, diagonal ladder, shadow and splitting of path, bistar, subdivision of bistar, prism, $B_{n, n}^2$ and friendship graphs are studied. Our analysis contributes to the understanding of Pell labeling across a broad spectrum of graph configurations, highlighting its applicability and the unique characteristics of each considered graph family.

1. Introduction

In 1960, the graph labeling was introduced by Gallian [1]; an interesting problem that has an assignment of integers to a set of vertices or edges as well as for both in a graph G satisfies certain mathematical conditions. It has been classified into two types such as vertex-labeling and edge-labeling. In general, a labeled graph represents a vertex-labelled graph in which each label is distinct labeled by the consecutive integers of almost the maximum number of vertices in a graph.

Shiama et al. [2-11] discussed the types of Pell-labeling concepts for some graphs namely path graph, star and double star graphs, bistar graph, cycle graph, coconut tree including $B_{m, n, k}$. Jagadeeswari et al. [3-7] introduced an extended duplication of each vertex, duplication of a pendant vertex $C_n \odot K_1$ and switching of a pendant vertex in a path by the edge to describe the square difference labeling (SDL). Shanthi Maheswari [4-10] defined a d2-splitting of graph concept with some properties. Sumathi et al. [5, 6] presented a family of the following ladder graphs using quotient labeling numbers such as open and closed ladder graphs, open and closed triangular ladder graphs, slanting and step ladder graphs including an open diagonal ladder graph. Moussa et al. [7, 8] described an existence of difference cordial labeling, Pell labeling for inflated triangular snake graph and its an alternative snake graph. An extended duplicate graph of an arrow graph and a splitting graph defined with respect to a path that provides a Pell labeling graph in Gallian et al. [1, 8]. Sriram [9-12] discussed a Square of Path graph 2Pn with results related to the Pell labeling graph. Sumathi et al. [6, 10] described an extension of a quadrilateral snake graph for Pell labeling and mean square sum labeling graphs. Vaidya [11, 15] et al. explained the concepts of product cordial labeling for an alternate triangular with quadrilateral snake graphs. Shiama et al. [2, 3, 12, 13] studied the cordial, bi-conditional, difference cordial and Pell labeling ideas applied to an inflation of the alternate triangular snake graph I(A(Tn)) for the even values of n followed by the alternate blocks will be counted from second vertices. Sriram et al. [9, 14] discussed the value of a proper lucky labeling number of ladder graphs, slanting and triangular ladder graphs, open-triangular and diagonal ladder graphs; and also include an open diagonal ladder graphs.

In this article, we discuss Pell labeling for graph labels for graphs used in transportation, emergency response planning and topology for digital relationships, where the population is the vertices and the interconnection is the edge. We have used number theory concept to describe the functions for the vertices and their induced edges.

2. Preliminaries

The basic definitions on graphs [15]. Some graphs are Splitting graph $S(G)$, Ladder graph $\left(L_n\right)$, Triangular ladder graph $T\left(L_n\right)$, Diagonal ladder graph $D\left(L_n\right)$, Alternate Triangular Snake are referred [2, 8, 10, 11] are respectively.

3. Main Results

Theorem 3.1

The splitting graph of $K_{1, n}$ admits Pell labeling.

Proof: Consider the graph $G=(V, E)$ be a splitting graph of $K_{1, n}$ with the vertex set $V=\left\{x, x^{\prime}, x_i, x_i^{\prime} / 1 \leq i \leq n\right\}$ and edge set $E=\left\{x x_i{ }^{\prime}, x x_i, x_i{ }^{\prime} x_i / 1 \leq i \leq n\right\}$, then $|V(G)|=2(n+1)$ and $|E(\mathrm{G})|=3 n$.

Let $G$ be a bijective function from $\phi: V \rightarrow\{0,1,2, \cdots\}$ defined for $1 \leq i \leq n$ as follows.

$\begin{gathered}\phi(x)=1, \\ \phi\left(x^{\prime}\right)=0, \\ \phi\left(x_i\right)=2 i, \\ \phi\left(x_i^{\prime}\right)=2 i+1,\end{gathered}$

and the induced function $\phi^*: E(G) \rightarrow N$ defined by $\phi^*\left(x x^{\prime}\right)=\phi(x)+2 \phi\left(x^{\prime}\right), x x^{\prime} \in E(G)$, yields the edge labeling as follows:

For $1 \leq i \leq n$,

$\begin{gathered}\phi^*\left(x x_i{ }^{\prime}\right)=2 i+1, \\ \phi^*\left(x x_i\right)=2 i+1, \\ \phi^*\left(x^{\prime} x_i\right)=4 i .\end{gathered}$

Thus, all the vertex and edge labeling satisfy the Pell labeling.

Figure 1. Pell labeling of splitting of $K_{1, 7}$  graph

Thus, the entire edges are labeled and satisfies the required condition. Hence the splitting graph of $K_{l, n}$ admits Pell labeling (Figure 1).

Theorem 3.2

The cycle $C_n(n \geq 6)$ with parallel chords admits Pell labeling.

Proof: Consider the graph $H$ with vertex set $V=\left\{v_k / 0 \leq\right.$ $k \leq n-1\}$ and edge set $E=\left\{v_k v_{k+1}, v_k v_{n-k} / 0 \leq k \leq n-\right.$ $1\}$. The cardinality of vertices is $n$ and for edges its $\frac{(3 n-3)}{2}$ if odd and $\frac{(3 n-2)}{2}$ if even. Let $\phi$ be a bijective function from the vertices $\{0,1,2,3, \cdots\}$ defined as follows:

$\phi\left(v_k\right)=k, \quad 0 \leq k \leq n-1$

and the induced function $\phi^*: E(H) \rightarrow N$  yields the edge labeling:

$\phi^*\left(v_k v_{k+1}\right)=3 k+2, \quad k=1,3,5, \cdots$

when $n$ is odd $k=4,6,8, \cdots$, when $n$ is even, $\phi^*\left(v_k v_{k+2}\right)=3 k+4, \quad k=0,1,2, \cdots, \phi^*\left(v_0 v_1\right)=2$.

Edge labeling is distinct hence the theorem acknowledges the labeling.

The cardinality of vertices is $2 n$ and edges is $3 n-1$. Let $\phi$ be a bijective function $\phi^*: E(G) \rightarrow N$ gives the vertices and edge labeling as follows.

$\begin{gathered}\phi\left(u_i\right)=2 i, \quad 0 \leq i \leq n-1 \\ \phi\left(v_j\right)=2 j-1, \quad 0 \leq j \leq n \\ \phi^*\left(u_i u_{i+1}\right)=6 i+4, \\ \phi^*\left(u_i v_j\right)=5 i+j+1, \\ \phi^*\left(u_i v_j\right)=6(i+1),\end{gathered}$

when $\begin{aligned} i=0,2,4, \cdots, n-1, \quad j=2,4,6, \cdots, n ; \quad \phi^*\left(v_j u_i\right)=6 j- 1, \quad i, j=1,3,5, \cdots\end{aligned}$

The entire edges are distinct. Hence the result.

Theorem 3.14

$Z-P_n$ is a Pell graph (Figure 15).

Proof: Let $G$ be a graph with $2 n$ and $3 n-3$ number of vertices and edges respectively. Consider $V(G)=\left\{u_i, v_i \leq i \leq n\right\}$ and $E(G)=\left\{u_i u_{i+1}, v_i v_{i+1}, u_i v_{i+1} \leq i \leq n-1\right\}$.

Define a onto mapping $\phi: V(G) \rightarrow E(G)$ as:

$\begin{gathered}\phi\left(u_i\right)=2(i-1) \\ \phi\left(v_i\right)=2 i-1\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\phi\left(u_j\right)=j-1, \quad 1 \leq j \leq 5 \\ \phi(x)=6 \\ \phi(y)=7\end{gathered}$

Thus, we receive 1-1 function as:

$\begin{gathered}\phi^*\left(u_3 u_4\right)=8 \\ \phi^*\left(u_4 u_5\right)=11 \\ \phi^*\left(u_5 u_6\right)=14 \\ \phi^*\left(u_3 u_6\right)=9 \\ \phi^*\left(u_1 u_3\right)=4 \\ \phi^*\left(u_2 u_3\right)=5 \\ \phi^*\left(u_1 x\right)=12 \\ \phi^*\left(u_2 x\right)=13 \\ \phi^*\left(u_4 y\right)=17 \\ \phi^*\left(u_6 y\right)=19 \\ \phi^*\left(u_3 u_5\right)=10\end{gathered}$

Theorem 3.17

The graph $K_1 K_{n+1}$ is a Pell graph (Figure 18).

$\begin{aligned} & \phi(u)=0 \\ & \phi(v)=1 \\ & \phi\left(u_k\right)=k+1\end{aligned}$

Thus, the entire $2 n+1$ edges have distinct labeling. Hence the graph $K_1 K_{n+1}$ is Pell graph.

The cardinality of the vertices is $3 n-2, n \geq 1$ and edges is $4(n-1)$. Let $\phi$ be a bijective function from $f^*: E(G) \rightarrow N$ gives the vertices and edge labeling as follows:

For $1 \leq i \leq n$,

$\begin{gathered}\phi\left(u_i\right)=3 i-3 \\ \phi\left(v_i\right)=3 i-2 \\ \phi\left(w_i\right)=3 i-1 \\ \phi^*\left(u_i u_{i+1}\right)=9 i-3 \\ \phi^*\left(v_i w_i\right)=9 i-4 \\ \phi^*\left(u_i v_i\right)=9 i-7 \\ \phi^*\left(w_i u_{i+1}\right)=9 i-1\end{gathered}$

Let $\mathrm{f}$ be a bijective function from $\phi^*: E(G) \rightarrow N$ gives the vertices and edge labeling as follows:

For $1 \leq i \leq n$,

$\begin{gathered}\phi\left(u_i\right)=4 i-4 \\ \phi\left(v_i\right)=4 i-1 \\ \phi\left(x_i\right)=4 i-3 \\ \phi\left(y_i\right)=4 i-2 \\ \phi^*\left(u_i v_i\right)=6(2 i-1) \\ \phi^*\left(v_i u_{i+1}\right)=12 i-1 \\ \phi^*\left(u_i x_i\right)=2(6 i-5) \\ \phi^*\left(x_i y_i\right)=12 i-7 \\ \phi^*\left(v_i y_i\right)=12 i-4\end{gathered}$

Hence Alternate Quadrilateral snake $AQ_n$ admits Pell labeling.
