Switched signed graphs of integer additive set-valued signed graphs

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] denote a set of non-negative integers and [Formula: see text] be its power set. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph [Formula: see text] is an injective set-valued function [Formula: see text] such that the induced function [Formula: see text] is defined by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the sumset of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. An IASL of a signed graph [Formula: see text] is an IASL of its underlying graph [Formula: see text] together with the signature [Formula: see text] defined by [Formula: see text]. A marking of a signed graph is an injective map [Formula: see text], defined by [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. Switching of signed graph is the process of changing the sign of the edges in [Formula: see text] whose end vertices have different signs. In this paper, we discuss certain characteristics of the switched signed graphs of certain types of integer additive set-labeled signed graphs.
