New Computational Result on Harmonious Trees

Abstract

Graham and Sloane proposed in 1980 a conjecture stating that every tree has a harmonious labelling, a graph labelling closely related to additive base. Very limited results on this conjecture are known. In this paper, we proposed a computational approach to this conjecture by checking trees with limited size. With a hybrid algorithm, we are able to show that every tree with at most 31 nodes is harmonious, extending the best previous result in this direction.
