Abstract
An antimagic labelling of a graph G is a bijection f : E ( G ) →{ 1 , . . . , | E ( G ) |} such that the sums S v = ∑ e 3 v f ( e ) distinguish all vertices v. A well-known conjecture of Hartsfield and Ringel (1994) is that every connected graph other than K 2 admits an antimagic labelling. Recently, two sets of authors (Arumugam, Premalatha, Bača & Semaničová-Feňovčıková (2017) and Bensmail, Senhaji & Szabo Lyngsie (2017)) 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. Thus the parameter of local antimagic chromatic number, introduced by Arumugam et al., is well-defined for every connected graph other than K 2.
