Antimagic Labelings of Generalized Petersen Graphs That Are Plane

title: Consecutive magic graphs
abstract: Let G be a graph of order n and size e. A vertex-magic total labeling is an assignment of the integers 1,2,...,n+e to the vertices and the edges of G, so that at each vertex, the vertex label and the labels on the edges incident at that vertex, add to a fixed constant, called the magic number of G. Such a labeling is a-vertex consecutive magic if the set of the labels of the vertices is {a+1,a+2,...,a+n}, and is b-edge consecutive magic if the set of labels of the edges is {b+1,b+2,...,b+e}. In this paper we prove that if an a-vertex consecutive magic graph has isolated vertices then the order and the size satisfy (n-1)^2+n^2=(2e+1)^2. Moreover, we show that every tree with even order is not a-vertex consecutive magic and, if a tree of odd order is a-vertex consecutive then a=n-1. Furthermore, we show that every a-vertex consecutive magic graph has minimum degree at least two if a=0, or both 2e>=6n^2-2n+1 and 2a==10n^2-6n+1+4a and 2a=

title: On the degrees of a strongly vertex-magic graph
abstract: Let G=(V,E) be a finite graph, where |V|=n>=2 and |E|=e>=1. A vertex-magic total labeling is a bijection @l from V@?E to the set of consecutive integers {1,2,...,n+e} with the property that for every v@?V, @l(v)+@?"w"@?"N"("v")@l(vw)=h for some constant h. Such a labeling is strong if @l(V)={1,2,...,n}. In this paper, we prove first that the minimum degree of a strongly vertex-magic graph is at least two. Next, we show that if 2e>=10n^2-6n+1, then the minimum degree of a strongly vertex-magic graph is at least three. Further, we obtain upper and lower bounds of any vertex degree in terms of n and e. As a consequence we show that a strongly vertex-magic graph is maximally edge-connected and hamiltonian if the number of edges is large enough. Finally, we prove that semi-regular bipartite graphs are not strongly vertex-magic graphs, and we provide strongly vertex-magic total labeling of certain families of circulant graphs.

title: Two new families of large compound graphs
abstract: A question of special interest in graph theory is the design of large graphs. Specifically, we want to find constructions of graphs with order as large as possible for a given degree and diameter D . Two generalizations of two large compound graphs are proposed in this article. Three particular cases of these families of graphs presented here allow us to improve the order for the entries (15, 7), (13, 10), and (15, 10) in the table of the largest known ( , D)-graphs.

title: Almost Moore digraphs are diregular
abstract: An almost Moore digraph is a digraph of diameter k⩾2 , maximum out-degree d⩾2 and order n=d+d 2 +⋯+d k , that is, one less than the Moore bound. It is easy to show that the out-degree of an almost Moore digraph is constant (=d) . In this note we prove that also the in-degree of an almost Moore digraph is constant (=d) , that is, every almost Moore digraph is diregular of degree d .

title: Asymptotic performance analysis of Bayesian target recognition
abstract: This article investigates the asymptotic performance of Bayesian target recognition algorithms using deformable-template representations. Rigid computer-aided design (CAD) models represent the underlying targets; low-dimensional matrix Lie-groups (rotation and translation) extend them to particular instances. Remote sensors observing the targets are modeled as projective transformations, converting three-dimensional scenes into random images. Bayesian target recognition corresponds to hypothesis selection in the presence of nuisance parameters; its performance is quantified as the Bayes' error. Analytical expressions for this error probability in small noise situations are derived, yielding asymptotic error rates for exponential error probability decay.

title: A characterization of strongly chordal graphs
abstract: In this paper, we present a simple charactrization of strongly chordal graphs. A chordal graph is strongly chordal if and only if every cycle on six or more vertices has an induced triangle with exactly two edges of the triangle as the chords of the cycle.

title: Bounds on the number of isolates in sum graph labeling
abstract: A simple undirected graph H is called a sum graph if there is a labeling L of the vertices of H into distinct positive integers such that any two vertices u and v of H are adjacent if and only if there is a vertex w with label L(w )= L(u )+ L(v). The sum number � (G) of a graph G =( V; E) is the least integer r such that the graph H consisting of G and r isolated vertices is a sum graph. It is clear that � (G)6|E|. In this paper, we discuss general upper and lower bounds on the sum number. In particular, we prove that, over all graphs G =( V; E) with 5xed |V |?3 and |E|, the average of � (G) is at least |E |− 3|V |(log|V |)=[log(( |V | 2 )=|E|)] −| V |− 1. In other words, for most graphs, � (G) ∈ (|E|).

title: Generalized Domination in Chordal Graphs
abstract: We discuss the computational complexity of generalized domination problems, which were introduced in  Complexity of domination-type problems in graphs, Nordic Journal of Computing 1 (1994), 157-171], restricted to chordal and interval graphs. The existence problem, parametrized by two sets of nonnegative integers σ and ρ, asks for the existence of a set S of vertices of a given graph such that for every vertex u ∈ S (or u ∉ S), the number of neighbors of u which are in S is in σ (in ρ, respectively). Telle proved that this problem is NP-complete for general graphs, provided both σ and ρ are finite and 0 ∉ ρ. One of our main results shows that in such cases, the existence problem is polynomially solvable for interval graphs. On the other hand, for chordal graphs, the complexity of the existence problem varies significantly even when σ and ρ contain one element each.
