| Summary: | Magic squares are among the more popular mathematical recreations. Over the last 50 years, many generalizations of <U+001c>magic ideas have been applied to graphs. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in <U+001c>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: ʺ a new chapter on magic labeling of directed graphs ʺ applications of theorems from graph theory and interesting counting arguments ʺ new research problems and exercises covering a range of difficulties ʺ 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.
