Abstract

A labeling of a graph G is a bijection from E(G) to the set {1, 2,… |E(G)|}. A labeling is antimagic if for any distinct vertices u and v, the sum of the labels on edges incident to u is different from the sum of the labels on edges incident to v. We say a graph is antimagic if it has an antimagic labeling. In 1990, Hartsfield and Ringel conjectured that every connected graph other than K~2~ is antimagic. In this article, we show that every regular bipartite graph (with degree at least 2) is antimagic. Our technique relies heavily on the Marriage Theorem. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract An __antimagic labeling__ of graph a with __m__ edges and __n__ vertices is a bijection from the set of edges to the integers 1,…,__m__ such that all __n__ vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where a vertex sum is the sum of labels of all edges incident with the same vertex.

Let ΞΈ 0 > ΞΈ 1 > β€’ β€’ β€’ > ΞΈ D denote the eigenvalues of and let E 0 , E 1 , . . . , E D denote the associated primitive idempotents. Fix s (1 ≀ s ≀ D -1) and abbreviate E := E s .

## Abstract In this paper, it will be shown that the isomorphism classes of regular orientable embeddings of the complete bipartite graph __K__~__n,n__~ are in one‐to‐one correspondence with the permutations on __n__ elements satisfying a given criterion, and the isomorphism classes of them are com

Spin models were introduced by V. Jones (Pac. J. Math. 137 (1989), 311-336) to construct invariants of knots and links. A spin model will be defined as a pair \(S=(X, w)\) of a finite set \(X\) and a function \(w\) on \(X \times X\) satisfying several axioms. Some important spin models can be constr

We show that any k-regular bipartite graph with 2n vertices has at least \ (k&1) k&1 k k&2 + n perfect matchings (1-factors). Equivalently, this is a lower bound on the permanent of any nonnegative integer n\_n matrix with each row and column sum equal to k. For any k, the base (k&1) k&1 Γ‚k k&2 is l
