A well-known conjecture of Hartsfield and Ringel is that every connected graph other than $K_2$ admits an antimagic labelling. Recently, two sets of authors (Arumugam, Premalatha, Ba\\v{c}a \\& Semani\\v{c}ov\\'a-Fe\\v{n}ov\\v{c}\\'ikov\\'a, and Bensmail, Senhaji \\& Lyngsie) independently introduced the weaker notion of a local antimagic labelling, where only adjacent vertices must be distinguished. Both sets of authors conjectured that any connected graph other than $K_2$ admits a local antimagic labelling. We prove this latter conjecture using the probabilistic method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-28T16:16:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C78", "05C15" ], "keywords": [ "local antimagic conjecture", "local antimagic labelling", "connected graph", "well-known conjecture", "weaker notion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
