The Pell-equation existence conjecture for -antimagic graph unions
The Pell-equation existence conjecture for -antimagic graph unions
Let be the path on three vertices. For a graph , a -antimagic labeling is an antimagic labeling whose vertex sums are exactly . Pell-equation existence conjecture. Let and be positive integers satisfying
Then there exist a graph and an integer such that
and has a -antimagic labeling. The preceding discussion motivates this as an existence question for graphs with prescribed numbers of vertices and edges satisfying the Pell equation, especially because components isomorphic to are forced in the relevant setting; the supplied text does not state that the conjecture has been resolved.
