Abstract We deal with the totally irregular total labeling which is required to be at the same time vertex irregular
total and also edge irregular total. The minimum k for which a graph G has a totally irregular total k -labeling is
called the total irregularity strength of G. In this paper, we estimate the upper bound of the total irregularity strength
of graphs and determine the exact value of the total irregularity strength for three families of graphs.

1 Introduction
Let G = (V , E ) be a simple and undirected graph with vertex set V and edge set E . By a labeling we mean
any mapping that carries a set of graph elements to a set of numbers (usually positive integers), called labels. If
the domain is the edge-set or edge-set and vertex-set, the labelings are called respectively edge labeling or total
labeling.
