Weak Integer Additive Set-Indexers of Certain Graph Operations

An integer additive set-indexer is defined as an injective function $f:V(G)\rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{N}_0}$ such that the induced function $g_f:E(G) \rightarrow 2^{\mathbb{N}_0}$ defined by $g_f (uv) = f(u)+ f(v)$ is also injective, where $f(u)+f(v)$ is the sum set of $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ and $\mathbb{N}_0$ is the set of all non-negative integers. If $g_f(uv)=k \forall uv\in E(G)$, then $f$ is said to be a $k$-uniform integer additive set-indexers. An integer additive set-indexer $f$ is said to be a weak integer additive set-indexer if $|g_f(uv)|=max(|f(u)|,|f(v)|) \forall uv\in E(G)$. A weak integer additive set-indexer $f$ is called a weakly $k$-uniform integer additive set-indexer if $g_f(e)=k \forall e\in E(G)$. We have some characteristics of the graphs which admit weak and weakly uniform integer additive set-indexers. In this paper, we study the admissibility of weak integer additive set-indexer by certain graphs and finite graph operations.
