let $g=(v,e)$ be a connected simple graph. a labeling $f:v to z_2$ induces two edge labelings $f^+, f^*: e to z_2$ defined by $f^+(xy) = f(x)+f(y)$ and $f^*(xy) = f(x)f(y)$ for each $xy in e$. for $i in z_2$, let $v_f(i) = |f^{-1}(i)|$, $e_{f^+}(i) = |(f^{+})^{-1}(i)|$ and $e_{f^*}(i) = |(f^*)^{-1}(i)|$. a labeling $f$ is called friendly if $|v_f(1)-v_f(0)| le 1$. for a friendly labeling $f$ of...
