Abstract

In 1967, Alex Rosa introduced multiple graph labelings useful for the purpose of studying decompositions. Since then, graph labeling has become a popular research topic independent of decompositions. In this talk, we return to the original purpose of two of Rosa’s labelings, the graceful labeling and the α-labeling, demonstrating their use in the study of decompositions. We also present a portion of our own results involving an extension of a class of trees called uniform k-distant trees; every tree in this new class of trees admits an α-labeling.
