Abstract

AbstractGiven a graph G with weighting w: E(G) ← Z+, the Strength of G(w) is the maximum weight on any edge. The sum of a vertex in G(w) is the sum of the weights of all its incident edges. The network G(w) is irregular if the vertex sums are distinct. The irregularity strength of G is the minimum strength of the graph under all irregular weightings. In this paper we determine the irregularity strength of the m × n grid for certain m and n. In particular, for every positive integer d we find the irregularity strength for all but a finite number of m × n grids where n ‐ m = d. In addition, we present a general lower bound for the irregularity strength of graphs. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
