Anti‐magic graphs via the Combinatorial NullStellenSatz
Dan Hefetz · Journal of Graph Theory · 2005
Abstract An antimagic labeling of a graph 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 that vertex. A graph is called antimagic if it has an antimagic labeling. In [ 10 ], Ringel conjectured that every simple connected graph, other than K2, is antimagic. We prove several special cases and variants of this conjecture. Our main tool is the Combinatorial NullStellenSatz (cf. [ 1 ]). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory
