Abstract

A function f is called graceful labeling of a graph G with m edges if f is an injective function from V(G) to {0, 1, 2, …, m} such that if every edge uv is assigned the edge label |f(u) − f(v)|, then the resulting edge labels are distinct. A graph that admits graceful labeling is called a graceful graph. The popular graceful tree conjecture states that every tree is graceful. The graceful tree conjecture remains open over four decades. In this paper, we introduce a new method of constructing graceful trees from a given arbitrary tree by designing an exclusive algorithm.
