Magic Graphs (2013)Paperback - 2013, 13 December 2014

Magic squares are among the more popular mathematical recreations. Over the last 50 years, many generalizations of "magic" ideas have been applied to graphs. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in "magic labelings" due to a number of results that have applications to the problem of decomposing graphs into trees.

Key features of this second edition include:

- a new chapter on magic labeling of directed graphs

- applications of theorems from graph theory and interesting counting arguments

- new research problems and exercises covering a range of difficulties

- a fully updated bibliography and index

This concise, self-contained exposition is unique in its focus on the theory of magic graphs/labelings. It may serve as a graduate or advanced undergraduate text for courses in mathematics or computer science, and as reference for the researcher.
