Approaches that output infinitely many graphs with small local antimagic chromatic number.

An edge labeling of a connected graph G = (V , E) is said to be local antimagic if it is a bijection f : E → { 1 , ... , | E | } such that for any pair of adjacent vertices x and y, f + (x) ≠ f + (y) , where the induced vertex label f + (x) = ∑ f (e) , with e ranging over all the edges incident to x. The local antimagic chromatic number of G, denoted by χ la (G) , is the minimum number of distinct induced vertex labels over all local antimagic labelings of G. In this paper, we show the existence of infinitely many bipartite and tripartite graphs with χ l a = 2 , 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
