Abstract

We consider graph labelings with an assignment of odd prime numbers to the vertices. Similarly to graceful graphs, a labeling is said to be elegant if the absolute differences between the labels of adjacent vertices describe exactly the first even numbers. The labels of an elegant tree with n vertices are the first n odd prime numbers and we want that the resulting edge labels are exactly the first even numbers up to 2n-2. We conjecture that each path is elegant and we give the algorithm with which we got elegant paths of n primes for all n up to n=3500.
