A divisor cordial labelig o a graph G with vertex set V is a bijectio rom V to {,,... V } such that a edge uv is assiged the label i ( u) ( v) or () v () u ad the label 0 otherwise, the umber o edges labeled with 0 ad the umber o edges labeled with dier by at most. A graph with a divisor cordial labelig is called a divisor cordial graph. I this paper we prove that helm H, lower graph Fl ad Gear graph G are divisor cordial graphs. Moreover we show that switchig o a vertex i cycle C, switchig o a rim vertex i wheel W ad switchig o the apex vertex i helm H admit divisor cordial labelig. Keywords: Labelig, Divisor cordial labelig, Switchig o a vertex AMS Mathematics Subject Classiicatio (00): 05C78. Itroductio We begi with simple, iite, coected ad udirected graph G = ( V( G), E( G)) with p vertices ad q edges. For stadard termiology ad otatios related to graph theory we reer to Gross ad Yelle [] while or umber theory we reer to Burto []. We will provide brie summary o deiitios ad other iormatio which are ecessary or the preset ivestigatios. Deiitio.. I the vertices are assiged values subject to certai coditio(s) the it is kow as graph labelig. Accordig to Beieke ad Hegde [3] graph labelig serves as a rotier betwee umber theory ad structure o graphs. Graph labeligs have eormous applicatios withi mathematics as well as to several areas o computer sciece ad commuicatio etworks. Yegaaryaa ad Vaidhyaatha [4] have discussed applicatios o edge balaced graph labelig, edge magic labelig ad (,) edge magic graphs. For a dyamic 50

A biary vertex labelig o a graph G is called a cordial labelig i v (0) v() ad e (0) e (). A graph G is cordial i it admits cordial labelig. The above cocept was itroduced by Cahit [6]. Ater this may labelig schemes are also itroduced with mior variatios i cordial theme. The product cordial labelig, total product cordial labelig ad prime cordial labelig are amog metio a ew. The preset work is ocused o divisor cordial labelig. Deiitio.5. A prime cordial labelig o a graph G with vertex set VG ( ) is a bijectio : V( G) {,,3,, V( G) } ad the iduced uctio * : E( G) {0,} is deied by *, i gcd( ( u), ( v)) = ; ( e= uv) = 0, otherwise. which satisies the coditio e (0) e (). A graph which admits prime cordial labelig is called a prime cordial graph. The cocept o prime cordial labelig was itroduced by Sudaram et al. [7] ad i the same paper they have ivestigated several results o prime cordial labelig. Vaidya ad Vihol [8, 9] as well as Vaidya ad Shah [0,, ] have proved may results o prime cordial labelig. Motivated through the cocept o prime cordial labelig Varatharaja et al. [3] itroduced a ew cocept called divisor cordial labelig which is a combiatio o divisibility o umbers ad cordial labeligs o graphs. Deiitio.6. Let G = ( V( G), E( G)) be a simple graph ad : {,,... V( G) } be a bijectio. For each edge uv, assig the label i ( u) ( v) or () v () u ad the label 0 otherwise. The uctio is called a divisor cordial labelig i e (0) e (). A graph with a divisor cordial labelig is called a divisor cordial graph. 5

3 S. K. Vaidya ad N. H. Shah I [3] authors have proved that path, cycle, wheel, star, K, ad K3, are divisor cordial graphs while K is ot divisor cordial or 7. The divisor cordial labelig o ull biary tree as well as some star related graphs are reported by Varatharaja et al. [4] while some star ad bistar related graphs are proved to be divisor cordial graphs by Vaidya ad Shah [5]. It is importat to ote that prime cordial labelig ad divisor cordial labelig are two idepedet cocepts. A graph may possess oe or both o these properties or either as exhibited below. i) P ( 6) is both prime cordial as proved i [7] ad divisor cordial as proved i [3]. ii) C 3 is ot prime cordial as proved i [7] but it is divisor cordial as proved i [3]. iii) We oud that a 7-regular graph with vertices admits prime cordial labelig but does ot admit divisor cordial labelig. iv) Complete graph K 7 is ot a prime cordial as stated i Gallia [5] ad ot divisor cordial as proved i [3].

Cocludig Remarks The divisor cordial labelig is a variat o cordial labelig. It is very iterestig to ivestigate graph or graph amilies which are divisor cordial as all the graphs do ot admit divisor cordial labelig. Here it has bee proved that helm H, lower graph Fl ad Gear graph G are divisor cordial graphs. The graphs C ad W are proved to be divisor cordial graphs by Varatharaja et al. [3] while we prove the graphs obtaied by switchig o a vertex i C, switchig o a rim vertex i W ad switchig o the apex vertex i H are divisor cordial graphs. Hece C, W ad H are switchig ivariat graphs or divisor cordial labelig. Ackowledgemet: The authors are highly thakul to the aoymous reeree or kid commets ad costructive suggestios. 58
