| contents | A \emph{Fibonacci cordial labeling} of a graph \( G \) is an injective function \( f: V(G) \rightarrow \{F_0, F_1, \dots, F_n\} \), where \( F_i \) denotes the \( i^{\text{th}} \) Fibonacci number, such that the induced edge labeling \( f^*: E(G) \rightarrow \{0,1\} \), given by \( f^*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v)) \) $(\bmod\ 2)$, satisfies the balance condition \( |e_f(0) - e_f(1)| \le 1 \). Here, \( e_f(0) \) and \( e_f(1) \) represent the number of edges labeled 0 and 1, respectively. A graph that admits such a labeling is termed a \emph{Fibonacci cordial graph}. In this paper, we investigate the existence and construction of Fibonacci cordial labelings for several families of graphs, including \emph{Generalized Petersen graphs}, \emph{open and closed helm graphs}, \emph{joint sum graphs}, and \emph{circulant graphs of small order}. New results and examples are presented, contributing to the growing body of knowledge on graph labelings inspired by numerical sequences. |
