متن کاملFelicitous Labellings of Some Network Models
Building up graph models to simulate scale-free networks is an important method since graphs have been used in researching scale-free networks. One use labelled graphs for distinguishing objects of communication and information networks. In this paper some methods are given for constructing larger felicitous graphs from smaller graphs having special felicitous labellings, and some network model...
