A caterpillar tree is a connected, acyclic, graph in which all vertices are either a member of a central path, or joined to that central path by a single edge. In other words, caterpillar trees are the class of trees which become path…

Given a graph $G$, a total labeling on $G$ is called edge-antimagic total (respectively, vertex-antimagic total) if all edge-weights (respectively, vertex-weights) are pairwise distinct. If a labeling on $G$ is simultaneously edge-antimagic…

The \emph{Antimagic Graph Conjecture} asserts that every connected graph $G = (V, E)$ except $K_2$ admits an edge labeling such that each label $1, 2, ..., |E|$ is used exactly once and the sums of the labels on all edges incident with a…

Given a digraph $D$ with $m $ arcs, a bijection $\tau: A(D)\rightarrow \{1, 2, \ldots, m\}$ is an antimagic labeling of $D$ if no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum, where the vertex-sum of a vertex $u $ in $D$ under $\tau$ is the…

An antimagic labeling of a directed graph $D$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs is a bijection from the set of arcs of $D$ to the integers $\{1, \cdots, m\}$ such that all $n$ oriented vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where an oriented…

An edge labeling of a connected graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be local antimagic if it is a bijection $f:E \to\{1,\ldots ,|E|\}$ such that for any pair of adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, $f^+(x)\not= f^+(y)$, where the induced vertex label…

This paper deals with the problem of finding totally antimagic total labelings of complete bipartite graphs. We prove that complete bipartite graphs are totally antimagic total graphs. We also show that the join of complete bipartite graphs…

An undirected graph $G$ is said to admit an antimagic orientation if there exist an orientation $D$ and a bijection between $E(G)$ and $\{1,2,\ldots,|E(G)|\}$ such that any two vertices have distinct vertex sums, where the vertex sum of a…

A magic labeling of a graph is a labeling of the edges by nonnegative integers such that the label sum over the edges incident to every vertex is the same. This common label sum is known as the index. We count magic labelings by maximum…

A bipartite graph $G=(A, B, E)$ is said to be a biconvex bipartite graph if there exist orderings $<_A$ in $A$ and $<_B$ in $B$ such that the neighbors of every vertex in $A$ are consecutive with respect to $<_B$ and the neighbors of every…

Motivated by the conjecture of Hartsfield and Ringel on antimagic labelings of undirected graphs, Hefetz, M\"{u}tze, and Schwartz initiated the study of antimagic labelings of digraphs in 2010. Very recently, it has been conjectured in…

A graph G=(V,E) with m edges is graceful if it has a distinct vertex labeling f, a map from V into the set{0,1,2,3,...,m} which induces a distinct edge labeling |f(u)-f(v)| for edges uv in E. The famous Ringel-Kotzig conjecture (1964) is…

A graph $G$ is said to be Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. In this work, we investigate the Hamiltonian completeness of certain classes of caterpillar graphs, which are trees with a central path to which all other vertices are…

A \emph{graceful labeling} of a graph $G$ is an injective function $f : V(G) \to \{0, \ldots, |E(G)|\}$ such that $\{\,|f(u)-f(v)| : uv \in E(G)\,\} = \{1, \ldots, |E(G)|\}$. If such a labeling exists, then we call $G$ \emph{graceful}.…
