Antimagic orientation of biregular bipartite graphs

Abstract

An antimagic labeling of a directed graph DD with nn vertices and mm arcs is a bijection from the set of arcs of DD to the integers {1,,m}\{1, \cdots, m\} such that all nn oriented vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where an oriented vertex sum is the sum of labels of all arcs entering that vertex minus the sum of labels of all arcs leaving it. An undirected graph GG is said to have an antimagic orientation if GG has an orientation which admits an antimagic labeling. Hefetz, M{\"{u}}tze, and Schwartz conjectured that every connected undirected graph admits an antimagic orientation. In this paper, we support this conjecture by proving that every biregular bipartite graph admits an antimagic orientation.
