Prime Labeling of Jahangir Graphs

Abstract

The paper investigates prime labeling of Jahangir graph Jn,m for n ≥ 2, m ≥ 3 provided that nm is even. We discuss prime labeling of some graph operations viz. Fusion, Switching and Duplication to prove that the Fusion of two vertices v1 and vk where k is odd in a Jahangir graph Jn,m results to prime graph provided that the product nm is even and is relatively prime to k. The Fusion of two vertices vnm + 1 and vk for any k in Jn, m is prime. The switching of vk in the cycle Cnm of the Jahangir graph Jn,m is a prime graph provided that nm+1 is a prime number and the switching of vnm+1 in Jn, m is also a prime graph .Duplicating of vk, where k is odd integer and nm + 2 is relatively prime to k,k+2 in Jn,m is a prime graph.
