Antimagic labelings of a complete graph

Abstract

In $1990$, Hartsfield and Ringel introduced antimagic graphs. Hartsfield and Ringel conjectured that every connected graph (and in particular, a tree) except $K_2$ is antimagic. In $2010$, Hefetz et al.\ raised two questions: Is every orientation of any simple connected undirected graph antimagic? and Given any undirected graph $G$, does there exist an orientation of $G$ which is antimagic? They call such an orientation an {\it antimagic orientation} of $G$. Recently, Bhavale provided an edge labeling for a given graph on $n$ vertices without isolated vertices. In this paper, using the labeling of Bhavale, we prove that a complete graph $K_n$ for $n \geq 3$ is super antimagic as well as totally antimagic total graph. We also prove that there exists an antimagic orientation of $K_n$ for $n \geq 3$.

Rooted Spider Embeddings and the Erd\H os-Sós Conjecture

Under a local density condition, we prove that every $k$-edge spider embeds at any prescribed center of degree at least $k$, unless all legs are even and the host graph has one of two specified structures. These structures contain complete bipartite subgraphs with prescribed neighborhoods. The proof uses path rerouting and three exchange lemmas that describe equality in neighborhood estimates. As a consequence, we recover the Erd\H os-Sós bound for all spiders.

Generalized Goulden-Yong duals and signed minimal factorizations

In this paper, we give two combinatorial ways to study signed exceptional sequences. First, we show the equivalence between one-way reflections and relatively projective representations. Secondly, we construct generalized Goulden-Yong duals using reverse Garside element actions and folded chord diagrams. We then give two applications of the generalized Goulden-Yong duals: constructing generalized Prüfer codes and counting signed factorizations using the matrix-tree theorem.

Explicit expressions for iterates of power series

We present several formulas for both the discrete and fractional iterates of an invertible power series $f$, using a new unifying approach based on umbral calculus. Known formulas are extended, and their proofs simplified, while new expressions are introduced. In particular, by employing $q$-calculus identities, we eliminate the requirement for $f'(0)$ to equal $1$ and the resulting general expressions for the iterative logarithm are obtained as well.
