The problem of labelling the complete graph K,, as near to graceful as possible is equivalent to the 'Golomb ruler problem' of finding as short a ruler as possible with n integer marks such that the distances between pairs of marks are all distinct. We generalize this to an association between label

โฆ Synopsis
A distinct distance set (DD set) for a graph G is a vertex subset of G with the property that for ISI = s, we have (~) distinct distances of the pairs of vertices in S.
In this article, it is shown that (a) For 6 ~< k ~< 18 there exists a tree T with DD(T) = k and din(T) = LB(k) < B~(Kk). where LB(k) is the smallest value L for which there are positive integers A and B with (b) For k ~< 10, the minimum order of a tree T with DD(T) = k is BI(Kk), which is the order of the corresponding Colomb ruler for k.
