The Graceful Tree Conjecture is getting old – though 40 years are not so many – while researchers form all over the world keep on trying to put an affirmative end to it. Kotzig called a disease the effort of proving it. In this paper we fall into the opposite disease, namely by moving towards the search of a tree that is not graceful. Our first result, on suitable attachments of graceful trees,...

An algorithm for graceful numbering of a class of trees known as Ts trees is discussed.

A function f is called a graceful labeling of a graph G with m edges if f is an injective function from V (G) to {0, 1, 2, · · · ,m} such that when every edge uv is assigned the edge label |f(u)− f(v)|, then the resulting edge labels are distinct. A graph which admits a graceful labeling is called a graceful graph. The popular Graceful Tree Conjecture states that every tree is graceful. The Gra...
