Given a graph G with p vertices, q edges and a positive integer k, a k-sequentially additive labeling of G is an assignment of distinct numbers k, k + 1, k + 2, . . . , k + p + q − 1 to the p + q elements of G so that every edge uv of G receives the sum of the numbers assigned to the vertices u and v. A graph which admits such an assignment to its elements is called a k-sequentially additive graph. In this paper, we give an upper bound for k with respect to which the given graph may possibly be k-sequentially additive using the independence number of the graph. Also, we prove a variety of results on k-sequentially additive graphs, including the number of isolated vertices to be added to a complete graph with four or more vertices to ∗Present address: School of ITMS, University of Ballarat, P.O.
