We explore the relations between Langford (2, m, 3m)-sequences on the one hand and complete and addtive permutations on the other. We consider in this context permutations with a certain "splitting" property and report on the results of some computer studies.

โฆ Synopsis
A new relation between extended C Wem sequences element) and additive permutations is presented.
(i.e., Skolem sequences with one zero Skolem [lOI has considered in connection with a study of some triple systems of Steiner' the following problem: is it possible to distribute the numbers 1, 2 , * -* 9 2n in n pairs (a,, b,) such that b, -a, = r for r = 1,2, . . . , n? A set of pairs of this kind is referred to as a '1, + 1 system.'
We zan now define Skolem sequence of size n to be any sequence x1, . . _ , x2,, of positive integers with the following properties:
(a) For any kE{l,..., n} there exist precisely two subscripts i(k), j(k) such that Xi(k) = Xi(k) = k.

A k-extended Skolem sequence of order n is an integer sequence (s,, s2,. . . , S Z ~+ ~) in which sk = 0 and for eachj E (1,. . . ,n}, there exists a unique i E (1,. . . ,2n} such that si = s i + j = j . We show that such a sequence exists if and only if either 1) k is odd and n = 0 or 1 (mod 4) or
The purpose of the paper is to study relations graphs and certain Skolem sequences. ## between graceful numbering of certain 2-regular In this paper, all graphs will be finite, without loops or multiple edges. For any graph G, the symbols V(G) and E(G) will denote its vertex set and its edge set,
