On the total vertex irregularity strength of comb product of cycle and path with order 3

Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be a graph and k be a positive integer. A total k-labeling of G is a map f: V (G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2,…,k}. The vertex weight v under the labeling f is denoted by wf(v) and defined by wf(v) = f(v) + ∑ υν∈E(G)f(ν∈). A total k-labeling of G is called vertex irregular if there are no two vertices with the same weight. The total vertex irregularity strength of G, denoted by tvs(G), is the minimum k such that G has a vertex irregular total k-labeling. Let G and H be two connected graphs. Let o be a vertex of H. The comb product between G and H, denoted by G⊳o H, is a graph obtained by taking one copy of G and |V (G)| copies of H and grafting the i-th copy of H at the vertex o to the i-th vertex of G. In this paper, we determine the total vertex irregularity strength of comb product of cycle and path with order 3.
