Let G 1, G 2 .... , G. be n (~>2) copies of a graph G. We denote by G(n) the graph obtained by adding an edge to G i and G iΓ· 1, i = 1,2 ..... n -1, and we call G(n) the path-union of n copies of the graph G. We shall relate the cordiality of the path-union of n copies of a graph to the solution of

Shee, S.-C. and Y.-S. Ho, The cordiality of one-point union of n copies of a graph, Discrete Mathematics 117 (1993) 225-243.
In this paper we give an equivalent definition of a cordial graph. The definition implies a previous result of Cahit (1986); it also enables us to find infinite families of noncordial graphs, derive some bound on the number of edges in a cordial graph and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a one-point union of two n-cliques.
Let G be a rooted graph. We denote by G'"' the graph obtained from n copies of G by identifying their roots. A sufficient condition for G'"' to be cordial is related to the solution of a system involving one equation and two inequalities with their coefficients depending on some binary labellings of G. According to the solvability of the system, we are able to establish a number of necessary and sufficient conditions for the cordiality of G'"' for certain classes of G, such as cycles, complete graphs, wheels, fans and flags. lc4f)l< 1 and IB(f)l d 1.

A graph G is perfectly orderable, if it admits an order < on its vertices such that the sequential coloring algorithm delivers an optimum coloring on each induced subgraph (H, <) of (G, <).
