On vertex-magic and edge-magic total injections of graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
The study of graph labellings has focused on finding classes of graphs which admit a particular type of labelling. Here we consider variations of the well-known edge-magic and vertex-magic total labellings for which all graphs admit such a labelling. In particular, we consider two types of injections of the vertices and edges of a graph with positive integers: (1) for every edge the sum of its label and those of its end-vertices is some magic constant (edge-magic); and (2) for every vertex the sum of its label and those of the edges incident to it is some magic constant (vertex-magic). Our aim is to minimise the maximum label or the magic constant associated with the injection. We present upper bounds on these parameters for complete graphs, forests and arbitrary graphs, which in a number of cases are within a constant factor of being optimal. Our results are based on greedy algorithms for computing an antimagic injection, which is then extended to a magic total injection. Of independent interest is our result that every forest has an edge-antimagic vertex labelling.

$Z_k$-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 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...
متن کاملOn consecutive edge magic total labeling of graphs
Let G = (V,E) be a finite (non-empty) graph, where V and E are the sets of vertices and edges of G. An edge magic total labeling is a bijection α from V ∪E to the integers 1,2, . . . , n+e, with the property that for every xy ∈E, α(x)+α(y)+α(xy)= k, for some constant k. Such a labeling is called an a-vertex consecutive edge magic total labeling if α(V )= {a + 1, . . . , a + n} and a b-edge cons...
متن کاملTotally magic graphs
A total labeling of a graph with v vertices and e edges is defined as a one-to-one map taking the vertices and edges onto the integers 1, 2, · · · , v+e. Such a labeling is vertex magic if the sum of the label on a vertex and the labels on its incident edges is a constant independent of the choice of vertex, and edge magic if the sum of an edge label and the labels of the endpoints of the edge ...
