Generation of Graceful Trees through
Graceful Codes
Abstract
Graceful Code is a way to represent graceful graph in terms
of sequence of non-negative integers. Given a graceful
graph G on “q” edges, we can generate its graceful code in
the form of (a1, a2, a3, …., aq-1, aq=0) to represent the
graph. Similarly, we can easily draw the graph from the
given graceful code.
Graceful codes are classified into two categories, namely,
α-valuable code and gracious code based on their
properties. Graceful code provides an useful and efficient
techniques to study and analyze graphs using computer.
Here we discuss generation of infinitely many graceful
codes, α-valuable codes and gracious codes for a given
graceful code, α-valuable code and a gracious code.
Introduction
A simple graph G(V,E) on “p” vertices and “q”
edges is said to be graceful if there exist
an injection f: V→{0, 1, 2,….,q} such that the
induced function g: E→{1, 2, 3, …, q} which is
defined by g(u, v)=|f(u)-f(v)| for every edge
(u, v), is a bijective function; then “f” is called
graceful labelling of G.
Graceful Code Let G be any graceful graph on “q” edges then
(a1, a2, a3, …, aq -1, aq) is called a graceful code of G,
if 0 ≤ ai ≤ q - i; 1 ≤ i ≤ q.
Here ai is the lower end vertex of the edge label “i”.
It is important to note that aq is always zero
For every graceful graph G we can write its code. Conversely, for every given graceful code we can draw the corresponding graceful graph as follows.
Join edges:(a1,1+a1),(a2,2+a2),...,(aq - 1,q-1+aq-1), (aq, q+aq)
Example 1
Figure 1 shows a graceful graph on q = 7 edges
with edge labeled from 1 to 7.

- valuable Code
A graceful code (a1, a2, a3,..., aq-1, aq) of a
graceful graph G on “q” edges is called
α - valuable code if
Here a1 is called the separator or critical value
of the - valuable code.
a1 ai
Max{ai| 1≤ i ≤ q} < Min{i+ai| 1≤ i ≤ q}.
Proposition
(a1, a2, a3, …,aq-1,aq) represents -valuable code if
and only if
0 (a1 – aq - i + 1) / q – i) ≤ 1
for all i , 1 ≤ i ≤ q - 1
Equivalently (a1, a2, a3, …,aq-1,aq) represents an
- valuable code if and only if
(a1 - aq, a1 - aq -1, …, a1 - a3, a1 - a2, 0) represents a
code of a Graceful Graph.
Properties of Graceful Codes
1.1 If (a1, a2, a3,…, aq - 1, aq) represents a code of
a graceful graph G on “q” edges,
then, (a2, a3,…, aq - 1, aq) represents a code
of some graceful graph H on “q - 1” edges.
1.2 If (a1, a2, a3,…, aq-1, aq) is an α–valuable
code on “q” edges and (q -1 - a1 > a1)
then (q – 1 - a1, q – 2 - a2, …, 1- aq - 1, 0,
a1, a2,a3,…, aq) is an α–valuable code
on “2q” edges.
1.3. If (a1, a2, a3,…, aq - 1, aq) is an α–valuable
code on “q” edges and (a1> q -1 - a1) then,
(a1, a2, a3,…, aq, q - 1- a1, q – 2 - a2, …,1 – aq - 1, 0)
is an α–valuable code on “2q” edges.
1.4. If (a1, a2, a3,…, aq1 - 1, aq1) and
(b1, b2, b3, …, bq2 - 1, bq2) represents
α–valuable codes on “q1” and “q2” edges
respectively and a1 ≥ b1 then,
(a1, a2, a3,…, aq1 - 1, aq1, b1, b2, b3,…, bq2 - 1, bq2)
represents an α–valuable code
on “q1 + q2” edges.
1.5. Let (a1, a2, a3,…, aq -1, aq) represents
a graceful code of a graph G on
“q” edges then,
(aq+ q, aq - 1+ q - 1,…, 2 + a2, 1 + a1, a1, a2, a3,…, aq - 1, aq)
represents a α–valuable code on “2q” edges.
Properties of Graceful Codes
If (a1, a2, a3,…, aq - 1, aq) represents a graceful
code of a graceful graph G on “q” edges then,
(aq+ q, aq – 1 + q - 1,…,2 + a2, 1 + a1, x, a1, a2, a3…, aq - 1, aq),
[0 ≤ x ≤ q] represents an α–valuable code
on “2q + 1” edges.
If (a1, a2, …, aq 1, aq) represent a code of a
graceful graph G on q edges,
Then,
(q – aq, q – aq 1, …, q – a2, q – a1, a1, a2, …, aq 1, aq)
represent a -valuable code on “2 q” edges.
Properties of Graceful Codes
Let X1, X2, X3, …, Xr represent “r” α–valuable
codes on edges “qi”
(1 i r) having separators “si” respectively.
Then, r-1 r-2 r-3
( sj + Xr , sj + Xr-1 , sj + Xr-2 , … s1+ s2+ X3, s1+ X2, X1)
j=1 j=1 j=1
r
always represent a α–valuable code on qj edges.
j = 1
Tree Generation Theorems
Let G be any simple graph on “n” vertices and “q”
edges.
Define a bipartite graph HG as follows:
(vi, vj) E(G) <=> (vi, vj’) E(HG) and
(vi’, vj) E(HG).
Join any vk V(G) V(HG),
[1 ≤ k ≤ n] to vk’ V(HG).
Here |V(HG)| = 2|V(G)| and |E(HG)| = 2 | E(G)| +1.
Tree Generation Theorems
Moreover if G has a code (a1, a2, a3,…, aq - 1, aq)
then HG has an α–valuable code
(aq+ q, aq-1+q - 1,…, 2+a2, 1 + a1, x, a1, a2, a3, …, aq - 1, aq) [0 ≤ x ≤ q].
If G happens to be a bipartite graph, then HG
contains two copies of G
together with an edge connecting vk to vk’
