Abstract

An \emph{antimagic labeling} of a finite undirected simple graph with mm edges and nn vertices is a bijection from the set of edges to the integers 1,...,m1,...,m such that all nn vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where a vertex sum is the sum of labels of all edges incident with the same vertex. A graph is called \emph{antimagic} if it has an antimagic labeling. In 1990, Hartsfield and Ringel \cite{HaRi} conjectured that every simple connected graph, but K2K_2, is antimagic. In this article, we prove that a new class of Cartesian product graphs are antimagic. In addition, by combining this result and the antimagicness result on toroidal grids (Cartesian products of two cycles) in \cite{Wan}, all Cartesian products of two or more regular graphs can be proved to be antimagic.
