Problem Description
A graph (V,E) is called a graceful graph if its vertices V can be labelled with distinct integers from 0 to |E| such that, when each edge is labelled with the absolute difference between its vertex labels, the resulting edge labels are all distinct. The task is to determine the existence of a graceful labelling of a graph.
Predicates
Input: edge/2
Output: value/2
Input format
The edges of the graph are provided by instances of the predicate edge/2.
Output format
If a graceful labelling exists, a witness containing vertex labels encoded in the predicate value/2 has to be provided. value(X,I) means the vertex X is labelled with the unsigned integer I.
Example(s)
The example encodes a clique with 3 nodes:
edge(a,b). edge(b,c). edge(c,a).
It is graceful. An assignment of the values 0, 1, and 3 to the nodes provides a graceful labelling.
Thus, the output of the solver should look like:
value(a,0). value(b,1). value(c,3).
Other graceful labellings are also possible.
