Abstract

Let G be a graph with n vertices and m edges without  isolated vertices.
A local total antimagic labeling of a graph G is defined as there is a bijection f:V(G)E(G){1,2,...,n+m}, with for any two adjacent vertices u and v with weights w(u)w(v), for any two adjacent edges e1=uv  and e2=vw with their weights  w(e)w(e) and any vertex x incident to an edge e=xy with their weights w(x)w(xy).  The vertex weight w(u) is defined by w(u)=eE(u)f(e), where E(u) is the set of edges incident to u.  The edge weight w(e=pq) is defined by  w(e=pq)=f(p)+f(q).  The local total antimagic chromatic number is the minimum number of colors taken over all induced by local total antimagic colorings (labelings) of G, which is denoted by  χlt(G). In this paper, we determine the local total antimagic chromatic number for the disjoint union of star graphs.
