Magic and supermagic dense bipartite graphs

Jaroslav Ivanco (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is called magic (supermagic) if it admits a labelling of the edges by pairwise different (and consecutive) positive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. In the paper we prove that any balanced bipartite graph with minimum degree greater than |V(G)|/4 ≥ 2 is magic. A similar result is presented for supermagic regular bipartite graphs.

Distinguishing graphs by the number of homomorphisms

Steve Fisk (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A homomorphism from one graph to another is a map that sends vertices to vertices and edges to edges. We denote the number of homomorphisms from G to H by |G → H|. If 𝓕 is a collection of graphs, we say that 𝓕 distinguishes graphs G and H if there is some member X of 𝓕 such that |G → X | ≠ |H → X|. 𝓕 is a distinguishing family if it distinguishes all pairs of graphs. We show that various collections of graphs are a distinguishing family.
