Abstract

Given an n-vertex graph G = (V, E) with m edges, a labeling f of V boolean OR E that uses all the labels in the set {1, 2, ..., n + m} is edge-magic if there is an integer k such that f (u) (v) f (uv) = k for every edge uv is an element of E. Furthermore, if the labels in {1, 2, ..., n} are given to the vertices, then f is called super edge-magic. Kotzig [On magic valuations of trichromatic graphs, Reports of the CRM, 1971] started the investigation of super edge-magic labelings of forests. Following this line of research, we prove that some forests of stars admit a super edge-magic labeling and that some forests of caterpillars admit an edge-magic labeling. (AU)
