Let G be a graph of order n and size m. A γ-labeling of G is a one-to-one function f:V(G) → 0,1,2,...,m that induces a labeling f’: E(G) → 1,2,...,m of the edges of G defined by f’(e) = |f(u)-f(v)| for each edge e = uv of G. The value of a γ-labeling f is v a l ( f ) = Σ e E ( G ) f ' K ( e ) . The maximum value of a γ-labeling of G is defined as v a l m a x ( G ) = m a x v a l ( f ) : f i s a γ - l a b e l i n g o f G ; while the minimum value of a γ-labeling of G is v a l m i n ( G ) = m i n v a l ( f ) : f i s a γ - l a b e l i n g o f G ; The values v a l m a x ( S p , q ) and v a l m i n ( S p , q ) are determined for double stars S p , q . We present characterizations of connected graphs G of order n for which v a l m i n ( G ) = n or v a l m i n ( G ) = n + 1 .

A γ-labeling of G is a one-to-one function f:V(G) → 0,1,2,...,m that induces a labeling f’: E(G) → 1,2,...,m of the edges of G defined by f’(e) = |f(u)-f(v)| for each edge e = uv of G. The value of a γ-labeling f is $val(f) = Σ_{e ∈ E(G)}f^{\prime }K(e)$. The maximum value of a γ-labeling of G is defined as $val_{max}(G) = max {val(f) : f is a γ- labeling of G}$; while the minimum value of a γ-labeling of G is $val_{min}(G) = min {val(f) : f is a γ- labeling of G}$; The values $val_{max}(S_{p,q})$ and $val_{min}(S_{p,q})$ are determined for double stars $S_{p,q}$. We present characterizations of connected graphs G of order n for which $val_{min}(G) = n$ or $val_{min}(G) = n+1$.
