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. A graph GG has an antimagic orientation if it has an orientation which admits an antimagic labeling. Hefetz, M{\"{u}}tze, and Schwartz conjectured that every connected graph admits an antimagic orientation. In this paper, we show that every bipartite graph without both isolated and degree 2 vertices admits an antimagic orientation and every graph GG with δ(G)33\delta(G)\ge 33 admits an antimagic orientation. Our proof relies on a newly developed structural property of bipartite graphs, which might be of independent interest.
