Caterpillars are Antimagic

Abstract: An antimagic labeling of a graph G is a bijection from the set of edges E(G) to {1, 2, . . . , |E(G)|} such that all vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex sum at vertex u is the sum of the labels assigned to the edges incident to u. A graph is called antimagic when it has an antimagic labeling. Hartsfield and Ringel conjectured that every simple connected graph other than K 2 is antimagic and the conjecture remains open even for trees. Here we prove that caterpillars are antimagic by means of an … Show more

“…This was followed by Bérczi et al [BBV15] and Chang et al [CLPZ16] proving that k-regular graphs are antimagic, when k is even and k ≥ 4. Following partial results of Deng and Li [DL19] and Lozano et al [LMS19], Lozano et al [LMST21] proved that all caterpillars are antimagic.…”

“…On the other hand, Liang, Wong, and Zhu [9] proved that a tree with many vertices of degree 2 is antimagic. The latest result on antimagic trees is by Lozano, Mora, Seara, and Tey [10] who proved that caterpillars are antimagic.…”
