A graph G = (V, E) is antimagic if there is a one-to-one correspondence f : E → {1, 2, . . . , |E|} such that for any two vertices u, v,It is known that bipartite regular graphs are antimagic and nonbipartite regular graphs of odd degree at least three are antimagic. Whether all non-bipartite regular graphs of even degree are antimagic remained an open problem. In this paper, we solve this problem and prove that all even degree regular graphs are antimagic.
Suppose r ! 2 is a real number. A proper r-flow of a directed multi-graphG G ¼ ðV ; EÞ is a mapping f : E ! R such that (i) for every edge e 2 E, 1 jf ðeÞj r À 1; (ii) for every vertex v 2 V , P e2E þðvÞ f ðeÞÀ P e2E ÀðvÞ f ðeÞ ¼ 0. The circular flow number of a graph G is the least r for which an orientation of G admits a proper r-flow. The well-known 5-flow conjecture is equivalent to the statement that every bridgeless graph has circular flow number at most 5. In this paper, we prove that for any rational number r between 2 and 5, there exists a graph G with circular flow number r. ß
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
