<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>Let </span><em>G</em><span>(</span><span><em>V</em>, <em>E</em></span><span>) </span><span>be a finite simple graph and </span><span>k </span><span>be some positive integer. A vertex </span><em>k</em><span>-labeling of graph </span><em>G</em>(<em>V,E</em>), Φ : <em>V</em> → {1,2,..., <em>k</em>}, is called edge irregular <em>k</em>-labeling if the edge weights of any two different edges in <em>G</em> are distinct, where the edge weight of <em>e</em> = <em>xy</em> ∈ <em>E</em>(<em>G</em>), w<sub>Φ</sub>(e), is defined as <em>w</em><sub>Φ</sub>(<em>e</em>) = Φ(<em>x</em>) + Φ(<em>y</em>). The edge irregularity strength for graph G is the minimum value of k such that Φ is irregular edge <em>k</em>-labeling for <em>G</em>. In this note we derive the edge irregularity strength of chain graphs <em>mK</em><sub>3</sub>−path for m ≢ 3 (mod4) and <em>C</em>[<em>C<sub>n</sub></em><sup>(<em>m</em>)</sup>] for all positive integers <em>n</em> ≡ 0 (mod 4) 3<em>n</em> and <em>m</em>. We also propose bounds for the edge irregularity strength of join graph <em>P<sub>m</sub></em> + <em>Ǩ<sub>n</sub></em> for all integers <em>m, n</em> ≥ 3.</p></div></div></div>
