Magic Graphs

This concise, self-contained exposition is unique in its focus on the theory of magic graphs/labelings and its application to a number of new areas. It may serve as a graduate text for courses and seminars in mathematics or computer science, or as a professional text for the researcher.

Magic squares are among the more popular mathematical recreations. Over the last 50 years, many generalizations of magic ideas have been applied to graphs. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in magic labelings due to a number of results that have applications to the problem of decomposing graphs into trees.

Key features of this second edition include:

· a new chapter on magic labeling of directed graphs

· applications of theorems from graph theory and interesting counting arguments

· new research problems and exercises covering a range of difficulties

· a fully updated bibliography and index

This concise, self-contained exposition is unique in its focus on the theory of magic graphs/labelings. It may serve as a graduate or advanced undergraduate text for courses in mathematics or computer science, and as reference for the researcher.

Only book of its kind in the area of magic labelings Features numerous exercises and their solutions Includes updates on new research in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
