On the Radio Number of Extended Mesh Kins Yenoke Department of Mathematics, Loyola College, Chennai, INDIA. (Received on: July 18, 2014) ABSTRACT A radio labeling of a connected graph is an injection from the vertices of to the natural numbers such that ( , ) + | − ( )| ≥ 1 + ( ) for every pair of distinct vertices and of . The radio number of denoted , is the maximum number assigned to any vertex of . The radio number of , denoted ( ), is the minimum value of ( ) taken over all labelings of . In this paper we determine bounds for the radio number of the enhanced mesh. Keywords: Labeling, Radio labeling, Radio number and Extended mesh.

1. INTRODUCTION Interest in graph labeling problems began in the mid-1960’s with a conjecture of Ringel16 and a paper by Rosa17. In the intervening years dozens of graph labelings techniques have been studied in over several papers. Despite the large number of papers, there are relatively few general results or methods on graph labeling. Indeed most of the results focus on particular classes of graphs and utilize adhoc methods. Frequently, the same classes have been done by several authors. Labeled graphs serve as useful models for a broad range of applications such as coding theory, x-ray,

crystallography, radar, astronomy, circuit design, channel assignments of FM radio stations and communication network addressing applications5, 6. 2. AN OVERVIEW OF THE PAPER The general problem that inspired radio labeling is what has been known as the channel assignment problem: the goal is to assign radio channels in a way so as to avoid interference between radio transmitters that are geometrically close. The use of graph theory to study the Channel Assignment Problem and related problems dates back at least to 1970 (see [15). The problem was
