چکیده

In this paper, we are studying vertex-magic total labelings (VMTLs) of simple graphs. By now much is known about methods for constructing VMTLs for regular graphs. Here we are studying non-regular graphs. We show how to construct labelings for several families of non-regular graphs, including graphs formed as the disjoint union of two other graphs already possessing VMTLs. We focus on conditions which make these VMTLs strong, so that previously known methods can then be used to build larger graphs from these which will themselves have VMTLs. In the second part of the paper, we investigate ways of describing how far a graph may be from being regular but still possess a VMTL.

Balanced Degree-Magic Labelings of Complete Bipartite Graphs under Binary Operations

A graph is called supermagic if there is a labeling of edges where the edges are labeled with consecutive distinct positive integers such that the sum of the labels of all edges incident with any vertex is constant. A graph G is called degree-magic if there is a labeling of the edges by integers 1, 2, ..., |E(G)| such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with any vertex v is equal t...

$Z_k$-Magic Labeling of Some Families of Graphs

For any non-trivial abelian group A under addition a graph $G$ is said to be $A$-textit{magic}  if there exists a labeling $f:E(G) rightarrow A-{0}$ such that, the vertex labeling $f^+$  defined as $f^+(v) = sum f(uv)$ taken over all edges $uv$ incident at $v$ is a constant. An $A$-textit{magic} graph $G$ is said to be $Z_k$-magic graph if the group $A$ is $Z_k$  the group of integers modulo $k...

Let $A$ be an abelian group. A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be $A$-barycentric-magic if there exists a labeling $l:E(G)longrightarrow Asetminuslbrace{0}rbrace$ such that the induced vertex set labeling $l^{+}:V(G)longrightarrow A$ defined by $l^{+}(v)=sum_{uvin E(G)}l(uv)$ is a constant map and also satisfies that $l^{+}(v)=deg(v)l(u_{v}v)$ for all $v in V$, and for some vertex $u_{v}$ adjacent t...

Distance magic labelings of graphs

As a natural extension of previously defined graph labelings, we introduce in this paper a new magic labeling whose evaluation is based on the neighbourhood of a vertex. We define a 1-vertex-magic vertex labeling of a graph with v vertices as a bijection f taking the vertices to the integers 1, 2, . . . , v with the property that there is a constant k such that at any vertex x, ∑ y∈N(x) f(y) = ...

INTEGER-MAGIC SPECTRA OF CYCLE RELATED GRAPHS

For any h in N , a graph G = (V, E) is said to be h-magic if there exists a labeling l: E(G) to Z_{h}-{0} such that the induced vertex set labeling l^{+: V(G) to Z_{h}} defined by l^{+}(v)= Summation of l(uv)such that e=uvin in E(G) is a constant map. For a given graph G, the set of all for which G is h-magic is called the integer-magic spectrum of G and is denoted by IM(G). In this paper, the ...
