Abstract:To further explore the problem of the 2-distance sum distinguishing edge coloring of three types of join graphs including Cm·Pn, Cm·Sn and Cm·Kn. By using the methods of combinatorial analysis, reduction to absurdity and categorical discussion, the 2-distance sum distinguishing edge chromatic numbers of Cm·Pn, Cm·Sn and Cm·Kn are determined, respectively. It is proved that the 2-distance sum distinguishing edge chromatic numbers for the above join graphs are not more than Δ+2.
