A SURVEY OF DISTANCE MAGIC GRAPHS

In this report, we survey results on distance magic graphs and some closely related graphs. A distance magic labeling of a graph G with magic constant k is a bijection l from the vertex set to {1, 2, . . . , n}, such that for every vertex x Σ l(y) = k,y∈NG(x) where NG(x) is the set of vertices of G adjacent to x. If the graph G has a distance magic labeling we say that G is a distance magic graph. In Chapter 1, we explore the background of distance magic graphs by introducing examples of magic squares, magic graphs, and distance magic graphs. In Chapter 2, we begin by examining some basic results on distance magic graphs. We next look at results on different graph structures including regular graphs, multipartite graphs, graph products, join graphs, and splitting graphs. We conclude with other perspectives on distance magic graphs including embedding theorems, the matrix representation of distance magic graphs, lifted magic rectangles, and distance magic constants. In Chapter 3, we study graph labelings that retain the same labels as distance magic labelings, but alter the definition in some other way. These labelings include balanced distance magic labelings, closed distance magic labelings, D-distance magic labelings, and distance antimagic labelings. In Chapter 4, we examine results on neighborhood magic labelings, group distance magic labelings, and group distance antimagic labelings. These graph labelings change the label set, but are otherwise similar to distance magic graphs. In Chapter 5, we examine some applications of distance magic and distance antimagic labeling to the fair scheduling of tournaments. In Chapter 6, we conclude with some open problems

A Complete Characterization of all Magic Constants Arising from Distance Magic Graphs

A positive integer $k$ is called a magic constant if there is a graph $G$ along with a bijective function $f$ from $V(G)$ to first $|V(G)|$ natural numbers such that the weight of the vertex $w(v) = \sum_{uv \in E}f(v) =k$ for all $v \in V$. It is known that all odd positive integers greater equal $3$ and the integer powers of $2$, $2^{t}$, $t \ge 6$ are magic constants. In this paper we characterise all positive integers which are magic constants

Graphs admitting antimagic labeling for arbitrary sets of positive numbers

Hartsfield and Ringel in 1990 conjectured that any connected graph with q >= 2 edges has an edge labeling f with labels in the set {1,..., q}, such that for every two distinct vertices u and v, f(u) not equal= f(v), where f(v) = Sigma(e is an element of E(v)) f (e), and E(v) is the set of edges of the graph incident to vertex v. We say that a graph G = (V, E), with q edges, is universal antimagic, if for every set B of q positive numbers there is a bijection f : E -> B such that f(u) not equal= f(v), for any two distinct vertices u and v. It is weighted universal antimagic if for any vertex weight function w and every set B of q positive numbers there is a bijection f : E -> B such that w(u) + f(u) not equal= w(v) + f(v), for any two distinct vertices u and v. In this work we prove that paths, cycles, and graphs whose connected components are cycles or paths of odd lengths are universal antimagic. We also prove that a split graph and any graph containing a complete bipartite graph as a spanning subgraph is universal antimagic. Surprisingly, we are also able to prove that any graph containing a complete bipartite graph K-n,K-m with n, m >= 3 as a spanning subgraph is weighted universal antimagic. From all the results we can derive effective methods to construct the labelings.Basal program Grant PIA AFB-170001 Nucleo Milenio Informacion y Coordinacion en Redes ICM/FIC RC13000
