Abstract

Let D be an oriented graph of order n and size m . A γ -labeling of D is a one-to-one function f V ( D ) { 0 , 1 , 2 , ... , m } that induces a labeling f ' E ( D ) { ± 1 , ± 2 , ... , ± m } of the arcs of D defined by f ' ( e ) = f ( v ) - f ( u ) for each arc e = ( u , v ) of D . The value of a γ -labeling f is v a l ( f ) = e E ( G ) f ' ( e ) . A γ -labeling of D is balanced if the value of f is 0. An oriented graph D is balanced if D has a balanced labeling. A graph G is orientably balanced if G has a balanced orientation. It is shown that a connected graph G of order n 2 is orientably balanced unless G is a tree, n 2 ( m o d 4 ) , and every vertex of G has odd degree.

A $\gamma $-labeling of $D$ is a one-to-one function $f\: V(D) \rightarrow \lbrace 0, 1, 2, \ldots , m\rbrace $ that induces a labeling $f^{\prime }\: E(D) \rightarrow \lbrace \pm 1, \pm 2, \ldots , \pm m\rbrace $ of the arcs of $D$ defined by $f^{\prime }(e) = f(v)-f(u)$ for each arc $e =(u, v)$ of $D$. The value of a $\gamma $-labeling $f$ is $\mathop {\mathrm {v}al}(f) = \sum _{e \in E(G)} f^{\prime }(e).$ A $\gamma $-labeling of $D$ is balanced if the value of $f$ is 0. An oriented graph $D$ is balanced if $D$ has a balanced labeling. A graph $G$ is orientably balanced if $G$ has a balanced orientation. It is shown that a connected graph $G$ of order $n \ge 2$ is orientably balanced unless $G$ is a tree, $n \equiv 2 \hspace{4.44443pt}(mod \; 4)$, and every vertex of $G$ has odd degree.
