1. Introduction
If the vertices of a graph are assigned values subject to certain conditions, then it is known as graph labeling. Most of the graph labeling problems have the following three characteristics in common: a set of numbers for the assignment of vertex labels, a rule that assigns a label to each edge and some condition(s) that these labels must satisfy. Cordial labeling were introduced by Cahit [
1] who called a graph
cordial if there is a vertex labeling
such that the induced labeling
, defined by
for all edges
and with the following inequalities holding:
and
, where
(respectively,
) is the number of vertices (respectively, edges) labeled with
. For a detailed survey on graph labeling one can refer to Gallian [
2]. For more details about the cordial labeling, the reader can refer to [

11]. Let
and
, be the number of vertices of
with labels
and
respectively, under
. Let
and
be the number of edges having labels 0 and 1, respectively, under
. A binary vertex labeling of a graph G is called a cordial labeling if
and
. In the paper [
12] they investigate the existence of the local super ant magic total chromatic number for some particular classes of graphs such as a trees, paths, and cycles. In the paper [
13], they gave a characterization of the locating chromatic number of powers of paths. In addition, they find sharp upper and lower bounds for the locating chromatic number of powers of cycles. The main purpose of the paper [
14] was to determine the crossing numbers of the join products of six symmetric graphs on six vertices with paths and cycles on n vertices. According to the paper [
15], the Cartesian product of the directed path
and the directed cycle
for any positive integers
and
is the exact value of the signed.
In the paper [
16], they obtain the g-extra connectivity of the strong product of two paths, the strong product of a path and a cycle, and the strong product of two cycles. In [
17], they obtained an
and
labeling of symmetric classes of networks termed as hexagonal lattice
and prismatic lattice
. In this papers [
18,
19] designs a feature selection algorithm based on fuzzy relative knowledge distances regards relative fuzzy knowledge distances as evaluation functions and conducts feature selections for information.
As it is known, every permutation can be expressed as a composite of disjoint cycles. Let
be a permutation of degree
defined on a set
having
distinct elements. Let it be possible to arrange
elements of the set
in a row in such a way that the
range of each element in the row is the element which follows it, the
image of the last element is the first element and the remaining
elements of the set
are left unchanged by
. Then
is called a cyclic permutation or an
-cycle of length
. A cyclic of length two is called a transposition. A permutation is said to be even or odd according as it is expressible as the product of an even or an odd number of transpositions. Every permutation can be expressed as a composite of disjoint cycles. Theorem of the
Permutations of
cycles,
are even permutations and
are odd permutations. As a well know theorem states: The set
of all even permutations of degree
forms a finite group of order
with respect to permutation multiplications as the composition [
20]. Therefore, for any set of distinct three elements, we have only three even permutations. Now we labelled the vertices of a graph
by
and induced edge labeling
defined as follows:
If then the following table determines the labeling of considering that our permutation is . We called this permuted cordial labeling.
