Branch mispredictions is an important factor affecting the running time in practice. In this paper we consider tradeoffs between the number of branch mispredictions and the number of comparisons for sorting algorithms in the comparison model. We prove that a sorting algorithm using O(dn log n) comparisons performs Ω(n log d n) branch mispredictions. We show that Multiway MergeSort achieves this...

We present several new eecient architectures to solve the hidden surface problem in the feature domain. All the architectures operate on segments (instead of pix-els) and create a list of visible segments for each scan line. We present two new semi-systolic architectures consisting of an array of M processors, where M is the maximum number of overlapping segments. Both ar-chitectures require pr...

An odd graceful labeling of a graph ( , ) G V E = is a function : ( ) {0,1,2, . . .2 ( ) 1} f V G E G → − such that | ( ) ( )| f u f v − is odd value less than or equal to 2 ( ) 1 E G − for any , ( ) u v V G ∈ . In spite of the large number of papers published on the subject of graph labeling, there are few algorithms to be used by researchers to gracefully label graphs. This work provides gene...

An even (resp. odd) lollipop is the coalescence of a cycle of even (resp. odd) length and a path with pendant vertex as distinguished vertex. It is known that the odd lollipop is determined by its spectrum and the question is asked by W. Haemers, X. Liu and Y. Zhang for the even lollipop. We revisit the proof for odd lollipop, generalize it for even lollipop and therefore answer the question. O...

A graph on 2n vertices can be Skolem-labeled if the vertices can be given labels from {1, . . . , n} such that each label i is assigned to exactly two vertices and these vertices are at distance i. Mendelsohn and Shalaby have characterized the Skolem-labeled paths, cycles and windmills (of fixed vane length). In this paper, we obtain necessary conditions for the Skolem-labeling of generalized k...

Let G be a (p, q) graph and let f : V (G) → {1, 2, 3, · · · , p + q} be an injection. For each edge e = uv, let f∗(e) = (f(u)+f(v))/2 if f(u)+f(v) is even and f∗(e) = (f(u)+f(v)+1)/2 if f(u) + f(v) is odd. Then f is called a super mean labeling if f(V ) ∪ {f∗(e) : e ∈ E(G)} = {1, 2, 3, · · · , p+ q}. A graph that admits a super mean labeling is called a super mean graph. In this paper we presen...

An antimagic labeling of a finite simple undirected graph with q edges is a bijection from the set of edges to the set of integers {1, 2, · · · , q} such that the vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex sum at vertex u is the sum of labels of all edges incident to such vertex. A graph is called antimagic if it admits an antimagic labeling. It was conjectured by N. Hartsfield and G. ...

In 1991, Gnanajothi [4] proved that the path graph n P with n vertex and 1 n − edge is odd graceful, and the cycle graph m C with m vertex and m edges is odd graceful if and only if m even, she proved the cycle graph is not graceful if m odd. In this paper, firstly, we studied the graph m n C P ∪ when 4, 6,8,10 m = and then we proved that the graph m n C P ∪ is odd graceful if m is even. Finall...

A (p, q) connected graph is edge-odd graceful graph if there exists an injective map f: E(G) → {1, 3, ..., 2q-1} so that induced map f+: V(G) → {0, 1,2, 3, ..., (2k-1)}defined by f+(x)  f(x, y) (mod 2k), where the vertex x is incident with other vertex y and k = max {p, q} makes all the edges distinct Reference A.Solairaju and K.Chitra Edge-odd graceful labeling of some graphs “ Electronics N...
