Abstract: In this paper we introduce D3 Divisor Cordial labelling for butterfly graph with shell order, which is based
on the concept of divisor cordial labelling. For this define a function β:V(G)→D3 such that for each edge uv,
we assign the label 0 if o(u)/o(v) or o(v)/o(u) assign the label 1 if o(u) not divides o(v). Let us define the new
function µα (β) which represents several edges of G having label α under the mapping β. Now β is called D3
divisor cordial labelling if |µ1 (β) −µ0 (β)| 1. The graph which satisfies the above condition is called the D3
divisor cordial labelling graph. Here we discuss the shell graph, butterfly graph, and butterfly graph with shell
order graphs undergoing Dihedral group divisor Cordial Labelling.
1 INTRODUCTION
The butterfly graph is a graph with two vertices and
two edges, where each vertex is connected to the
other vertex by an edge, and each vertex has a loop
(an edge that connects it to itself). The shell order
refers to the placements of vertices in concentric
shells or layers around a central vertex.
The field of graph theory is very important in
many domains. One of the main applications of graph
theory is graph labelling which is utilized in several
disciplines such as database management, astronomy
etc.
Graph labelling is the process of assigning values
to vertices, edges, or both under a specific condition
or conditions. A graph labelling is a map connecting
the graph's elements to a collection of numbers,
typically a collection of nonnegative or positive
integers. Edge labelling is used when the domain is
the set of edges. Total labelling is the term used when
labels are applied to both vertices and edges.
This essay focuses on the finite, simple,
undirected graph G with p nodes and q edges. G is
also known as a (p, q) graph. For information on the
ideas of graph theory and Abstract Algebra, see the

2 PRELIMINARIES
2.1 Butterfly Graph
The butterfly graph BF
m,n
is a two even cycles of the
same order say C
n
, sharing a common vertex with m
pendant edges attached at the common vertex is
called a butterfly graph.
2.2 Shell Graph
A shell S

is the graph obtained by taking (n-3)
concurrent chords in a cycle C

all the chords are concurrent is called the apex. The
shell is also called fan f
n−1
.
2.3 Multiple Shell Graph
A multiple shell is a collection of edge disjoint shells
that have their apex in common. Hence a double shell
consists of two edge disjoint shells with a common
apex.
2.4 Bow Graph
A bow graph is a double shell in which each shell has
any order.
2.5 Divisor Cordial Labelling
A divisor Graph G with vertex set V is cordial
labelled by a bijection f from V to {1, 2,..., | V |} such
that if each edge uv is given the label 1 if f(u) divides
f(v) or f(v) divides f(u), and 0 otherwise, then the
number of edges labelled with 0 and the number of
edges labelled with 1 differ by at most 1 then it is
called divisor cordial labelling..

be a mapping such that for each
edge ab we assign the label 0 if order of u divides
order of v or order of v divides order of u and assign
the label 1 if order of u not divides order of v. Let us
define the new function

3.2 Order of an Element
Let G be an undirected graph without loops and
multiple edges. Let us consider Dihedral group whose
elements are e, a,
,b,ab,
b whose structure is given
below e = (1)(2)(3), a = (123),
= (132), b=(12), ab
= (13),
b = (23) Order of each element is given by
O(e) =1,O(a)=3,O(
)=3,O(b)=2,
O(ab)=2,O(
b)=2.
In this section we discuss the shell graph, butterfly
graph and butterfly graph with shell order graphs
undergoes Dihedral group divisor Cordial Labelling.
