The even-order M{"o}bius ladder local antimagic chromatic number conjecture

For n2n\ge 2, let M2nM_{2n} be the M{"o}bius ladder obtained from the cycle C2n=u1u2unv1v2vnu1C_{2n}=u_1u_2\cdots u_nv_1v_2\cdots v_nu_1 by adding the edges uiviu_iv_i for 1in1\le i\le n. Let χla\chi_{la} denote the local antimagic chromatic number.

M{"o}bius ladder conjecture. For even n4n\ge 4,

χla(M2n)=4.\chi_{la}(M_{2n})=4.

The surrounding results establish the value for odd n3n\ge 3 and note that M4=K4M_4=K_4 has local antimagic chromatic number 44. The even-order case stated here is presented as a conjecture, with no resolution supplied in the text.
