The Grundy number of a graph G is the maximum number k of colors used to color the vertices of G such that the coloring is proper and every vertex x colored with color i, 1 <= i <= k, is adjacent to (i-1) vertices colored with each color j, 1 <= j <= i-1. In this paper we give bounds for the Grundy number of some graphs and cartesian products of graphs. In particular, we determine an exact value of this parameter for n-dimensional meshes and some n-dimensional toroidal meshes. Finally, we present an algorithm to generate all graphs for a given Grundy number.
