Graceful Labellings of Variable Windmills Using Skolem-type Sequences
Ahmad H. Alkasasbeh, Danny Dyer, Jared Howell · Ars Combinatoria · 2024
In this paper, we introduce graceful and near graceful labellings of several families of windmills. In particular, we use Skolem-type sequences to prove (near) graceful labellings exist for windmills with \(C_{3}\) and \(C_{4}\) vanes, and infinite families of \(3,5\)-windmills and \(3,6\)-windmills. Furthermore, we offer a new solution showing that the graph obtained from the union of \(t\) 5-cycles with one vertex in common (\(C_{5}^{t}\)) is graceful if and only if \(t \equiv 0, 3 \pmod{4}\) and near graceful when \(t \equiv 1, 2 \pmod{4}\).
