Abstract
Radio antennas switch signals in the form of radio waves using different frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. To avoid interruption, each radio station is assigned a unique number. The channel assignment problem refers to this application. A radio geometric mean labeling of a connected graph is an injective function h from the vertex set, to the set of natural numbers such that for any two distinct vertices and of , . The radio geometric mean number of , , is the maximum number assigned to any vertex of . The radio geometric mean number of G, is the minimum value of , taken over all radio geometric mean labeling of . In this paper, we present two theorems for calculating the exact radio geometric mean number of paths and cycles. We also present a novel algorithm for determining the upper bound for the radio geometric mean number of a given graph. We verify that the upper bounds obtained from this algorithm coincide with the exact value of the radio geometric mean number for paths, cycles, stars, and bi-stars.
