A simple graph G admits an H-covering if every edge in E(G) belongs to at least to one subgraph of G isomorphic to a given graph H. For the subgraph H ⊆ G under a total k-labeling we define the associated H-weight as the sum of labels of all vertices and edges belonging to H. The total k-labeling is called the H-irregular total k-labeling of a graph G admitting an H-covering if all subgraphs of G isomorphic to H have distinct weights. The total H-irregularity strength of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that G has an H-irregular total k-labeling.

An edge labeling of a graph G=(V,E) using every label from the set {1,2,⋯,|E(G)|} exactly once is a local antimagic labeling if the vertex-weights are distinct for every pair of neighboring vertices, where a vertex-weight is the sum of labels of all edges incident with that vertex. Any local antimagic labeling induces a proper vertex coloring of G where the color of a vertex is its vertex-weight. This naturally leads to the concept of a local antimagic chromatic number. The local antimagic chromatic number is defined to be the minimum number of colors taken over all colorings of G induced by local antimagic labelings of G. In this paper, we estimate the bounds of the local antimagic chromatic number for disjoint union of multiple copies of a graph.
