Abstract

An \(H\)-(a,d)-antimagic labeling in a \(H\)-decomposable graph \(G\) is a bijection \(f: V(G)\cup E(G)\rightarrow {\{1,2,…,p+q\}}\) such that \(\sum f(H_1),\sum f(H_2),\cdots, \sum f(H_h)\) forms an arithmetic progression with difference \(d\) and first element \(a\). \(f\) is said to be \(H\)-\(V\)-super-\((a,d)\)-antimagic if \(f(V(G))={\{1,2,…,p\}}\). Suppose that \(V(G)=U(G) \cup W(G)\) with \(|U(G)|=m\) and \(|W(G)|=n\). Then \(f\) is said to be \(H\)-\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling if \(f(U(G))={\{1,2,…,m\}}\) and \(f(W(G))={\{m+1,m+2,…,(m+n=p)\}}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)-\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling is called a \(H\)-\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable graph. In this paper, we prove that complete bipartite graphs \(K_{m,n}\) are \(H\)-\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even.

1. Introduction

In this paper we consider only finite and simple undirected bipartite graphs. The vertex and edge sets of a graph G are denoted by \(V(G)\) and \(E(G)\) respectively and we let \(|V(G)|=p\) and \(|E(G)|=q\). For graph theoretic notations, we follow [1, 2]. A labeling of a graph G is a mapping that carries a set of graph elements, usually vertices and/or edges into a set of numbers, usually integers. Many kinds of labeling have been studied and an excellent survey of graph labeling can be found in[3].

Although magic labeling of graphs was introduced by Sedlacek [4], the concept of vertex magic total labeling (VMTL) first appeared in 2002 in[5]. In 2004, MacDougall et al. [6] introduced the notion of super vertex magic total labeling (SVMTL). In 1998, Enomoto et al. [7] introduced the concept of super edge-magic graphs. In 2005, Sugeng and Xie[8] constructed some super edge-magic total graphs. The usage of the word “super” was introduced in[7]. The notion of a \(V\)-super vertex magic labeling was introduced by MacDougall et al.[6] as in the name of super vertex-magic total labeling and it was renamed as \(V\)-super vertex magic labeling by Marr and Wallis in [9] after referencing the article[10]. Most recently, Tao-ming Wang and Guang-Hui Zhang [11], generalized some results found in [10].

Hartsfield and Ringel [12] introduced the concept of an antimagic graph. In their terminology, an antimagic labeling is an edge-labeling of the graph with the integers \(1,2,\cdots,q\) so that the weight at each vertex is different from the weight at any other vertex. Bodendiek and Walther [13] defined the concept of an \((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling as an edge-labeling in which the vertex weights forms an arithmetic progression starting from \(a\) and having common difference \(d\). B\(\check{a}\)ca et al.[14] introduced the notions of vertex-antimagic total labeling and \((a,d)\)-vertex-antimagic total labeling. Simanjuntak et al [15] introduced the concept of \((a,d)\)-antimagic graph. Sudarasana et al [16] studied the concept of super edge-antimagic total lableing of disconnected graphs.

A bijection \(f\) from \(V(G)\cup E(G)\) to the integers \({1,2,…,p+q}\) is called a vertex-antimagic total labeling of \(G\) if the weights of vertices \(\{w_f (x)=f(x)+\sum_{xy \in E(G)} f(xy)\), \(x \in V(G)\)}, are pairwise distinct. \(f\) is called an \((a,d)\)-vertex-antimagic total labeling of \(G\) if the set of vertex weights \(\{w_f (x) | x \in V(G)\}=\{a,a+d,\cdots,a+(p-1)d\}\) for some integers \(a\) and \(d\). \(f\) is said to be super-\((a,d)\)-vertex-antimagic labeling if \(f(V(G))={\{1,2,…,p\}}\). A graph \(G\) is called super-\((a,d)\)-vertex-antimagic if it admits a super-\((a,d)\)-vertex-antimagic labeling. A bijection \(f\) from \(V(G)\cup E(G)\) to the integers \({1,2,…,p+q}\) is called an \((a,d)\)-edge-antimagic total labeling of \(G\) if the edge weights \(\{w(uv)=f(u)+f(v)+f(uv)\), \(uv \in E(G)\)}, forms an arithmetic sequence with the first term \(a\) and common difference \(d\). \(f\) is said to be super-\((a,d)\)-edge-antimagic labeling if \(f(V(G))={\{1,2,…,p\}}\). A graph \(G\) is called super-\((a,d)\)-edge-antimagic if it admits a super-\((a,d)\)-edge-antimagic labeling.

A covering of \(G\) is a family of subgraphs \(H_1,H_2,…,H_h\) such that each edge of \(E(G)\) belongs to at least one of the subgraphs \(H_i\), \(1\leq i\leq h\). Then it is said that \(G\) admits an \((H_1,H_2,\cdots ,H_h)\) covering. If every \(H_i\) is isomorphic to a given graph \(H\), then \(G\) admits an \(H\)-covering. A family of subgraphs \(H_1,H_2,\cdots,H_h\) of \(G\) is a \(H\)-decomposition of \(G\) if all the subgraphs are isomorphic to a graph \(H\), \(E(H_i )\cap E(H_j )=\emptyset\) for \(i\neq j\) and \(\cup_{i=1}^h E(H_i)=E(G)\). In this case, we write \(G=H_1\oplus H_2 \oplus\cdots \oplus H_h\) and \(G\) is said to be \(H\)-decomposable.

The notion of \(H\)-super magic labeling was first introduced and studied by Guti\(\acute{e}\)rrez and Llad\(\acute{o}\)[17] in 2005. They proved that some classes of connected graphs are \(H\)-super magic. Suppose \(G\) is \(H\)-decomposable. A total labeling \(f :V(G)\cup E(G)\to {\{1,2,\cdots,p+q\}}\) is called an \(H\)-magic labeling of \(G\) if there exists a positive integer \(k\) (called magic constant) such that for every copy \(H\) in the decomposition, \(\sum_{v\in V(H)} f(v)+\sum_{e\in E(H)} f(e)=k\). A graph \(G\) that admits such a labeling is called a \(H\)-magic decomposable graph. An \(H\)-magic labeling \(f\) is called a \(H\)\(V\)-super magic labeling if \(f(V(G))={\{1,2,\cdots,p\}}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)\(V\)-super magic labeling is called a \(H\)\(V\)-super magic decomposable graph. An \(H\)-magic labeling \(f\) is called a \(H\)\(E\)-super magic labeling if \(f(E(G))={\{1,2,\cdots,q\}}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)\(E\)-super magic labeling is called a \(H\)\(E\)-super magic decomposable graph. The sum of all vertex and edge labels on \(H\) is denoted by \(\sum f(H)\).

In 2001, Muntaner-Batle[18] introduced the concept of super-strong magic labeling of bipartite graph as in the name of special super magic labeling of bipartite graph and it was renamed as super-strong magic labeling by Marr and Wallis[9]. Marimuthu and Stalin Kumar [19] introduced the concept of \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong magic decomposition and \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong magic decomposition of complete bipartite graphs. Suppose \(G\) is a bipartite graph with vertex-sets \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) of sizes \(m\) and \(n\) respectively. An edge-magic total labeling of \(G\) is super-strong if the elements of \(V_1\) receive labels \({\{1,2,…,m\}}\) and the elements of \(V_2\) receive labels \({\{m+1,m+2,…,m+n\}}\). Suppose \(G\) is \(H\)-decomposable and if \(V(G)=U(G) \cup W(G)\) with \(|U(G)|=m\) and \(|W(G)|=n\). An \(H\)\(V\)-super magic labeling \(f\) is called a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong magic if \(f(U(G))={\{1,2,…,m\}}\) and \(f(W(G))={\{m+1,m+2,…,(m+n=p)\}}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong magic labeling is called a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong magic decomposable graph. An \(H\)\(E\)-super magic labeling \(f\) is called a \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong magic labeling if if \(f(U(G))={\{q+1,q+2,…,q+m\}}\) and \(f(W(G))=\{q+m+1,q+m+2,…,\\(q+m+n=qp)\}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong magic labeling is called a \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong magic decomposable graph.

Suppose \(G\) is \(H\)-decomposable. A total labeling \(f :V(G)\cup E(G)\to \{1,2,\cdots, \\ p+q\}\) is called an \(H\)-antimagic labeling of \(G\) if \(\sum f(H_1),\sum f(H_2), \cdots, \sum f(H_h)\) are pairwaise distinct. \(f\) is said to be \(H\)\((a,d)\)-antimagic if these numbers forms an arithmetic progression with difference \(d\) and first element \(a\). A \(H\)\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling \(f\) is called \(H\)\(V\)-super-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling if \(f(V(G))={\{1,2,…,p\}}\). Suppose that \(V(G)=U(G) \cup W(G)\) with \(|U(G)|=m\) and \(|W(G)|=n\). Then \(f\) is said to be \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling if \(f(U(G))={\{1,2,…,m\}}\) and \(f(W(G))={\{m+1,m+2,…,(m+n=p)\}}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling is called a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable graph. A \(H\)\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling \(f\) is called \(H\)\(E\)-super-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling if \(f(E(G))={\{1,2,…,q\}}\). \(f\) is said to be \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling if \(f(U(G))={\{q+1,q+2,…,q+m\}}\) and \(f(W(G))=\{q+m+1,q+m+2,…,(q+m+n=qp)\}\). A graph that admits a \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling is called a \(H\)\(E\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable graph.

In 2012, Inayah et al. [20] studied magic and anti-magic \(H\)-decompositions and Zhihe Liang [21] studied cycle-super magic decompositions of complete multipartite graphs. In many of the results about \(H\)-magic graphs, the host graph \(G\) is required to be \(H\)-decomposable. Yoshimi Ecawa et al [22] studied the decomposition of complete bipartite graphs into edge-disjoint subgraphs with star components. The notion of star-subgraph was introduced by Akiyama and Kano in [23]. A subgraph \(F\) of a graph \(G\) is called a star-subgraph if each component of \(F\) is a star. Here by a star, we mean a complete bipartite graph of the form \(K_{1,m}\) with \(m\geq1\). A subgraph \(F\) of a graph \(G\) is called a \(n\)-star-subgraph if \(F \cong K_{1,n}\) with \(2\leq n<p\). Marimuthu and Stalin Kumar [24, 25] studied about the \(H\)\(V\)-super magic decomposition and \(H\)\(E\)-super magic decomposition of complete bipartite graphs.

2. Main Results

In this section, we consider the graphs \(G \cong K_{m,n}\) and \(H \cong K_{1,n}\), where \(n\geq1\) and both \(m\) and \(n\) are even. Clearly \(p=m+n\) and \(q=mn\).

Theorem 1. Suppose \({\{H_1,H_2,\cdots ,H_m\}}\) is a \(n\)-star-decomposition of \(G\) with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even. Then \(G\) is \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable with \(a=1+\frac{n^2(m+3)+2n(2m+1)}{2}\) and \(d=1\).

Proof. Let \(U={\{u_1,u_2,\cdots ,u_m\}}\) and \(V={\{v_1,v_2,\cdots ,v_n\}}\) be two stable sets of \(G\). Let \({\{H_1,H_2,\cdots ,H_m\}}\) be a \(n\)-star decomposition of \(G\) with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even, where each \(H_i\) is isomorphic to \(H\), such that \(V(H_i)={\{u_i,v_1,v_2,\cdots ,v_n\}}\) and \(E(H_i)={\{u_iv_1,u_iv_2, \cdots ,u_iv_n\}}\), for all \(1\leq i \leq m\). Define a total labeling \(f :V(G)\cup E(G) \rightarrow {\{1,2, \cdots ,p+q\}}\) by \(f(u_i)=i\) and \(f(v_j)=m+j\), for all \(1\leq i \leq m\) and \(1\leq j \leq n\).

Case 1: \(m\neq n\).
Now the edges of \(G\) can be labeled as shown in Table \(1\).

\(\) \((m-1)\) \(+2\) \(\) \(+((n-1)m-1)\) \(+((n-1)m+2)\)
\(u_3\) \((m+n)+\) \((2m+n)\) \(…\) \((m+n)\) \((m+n)\)

\(\) \(1\) \(+m\) \(\) \(+((n-2)m+1)\) \(+mn\)


We prove the result for \(n=k\) and the result follows for all \(1 \leq k \leq m\).
From Table \(1\) and from definition of \(f\), we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(H_k) &=& f(u_k)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(v_i)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i )= k+\sum_{i=1}^n (m+i)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i ) \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] Now, \[\begin{aligned} \sum_{i=1}^n f(v_i) &=& (m+1)+(m+2)+\cdots+(m+n) \nonumber \\ &=& mn+(1+2+\cdots+n) = mn+\frac{n(n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] Also \[\begin{aligned} \sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i) &=& ((m+n)+(m-(k-1)))+((m+n)+(m+k))+\cdots \nonumber \\ &\ \ & +((m+n)+(n-2)m+(m-(k-1)))+((m+n)+(n-1)m+k) \nonumber \\ &=& ((2m+n)-(k-1))+((2m+n)+k)+((4m+n)-(k-1))+ \nonumber \\ &\ \ & ((4m+n)+k)+\cdots+(((n)m+n)-(k-1))+(((n)m+n)+k) \nonumber \\ &=& 2((2m+n)+(4m+n)+\cdots +(nm+n))+\frac{n}{2}(1) \nonumber \\ &=& 2((2m+2n+\cdots+nm)+\frac{n(n)}{2})+\frac{n}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& 4m(1+2+\cdots+\frac{n}{2})+\frac{2n^2+n}{2} = 4m(\frac{n(n+2)}{8})+\frac{2n^2+n}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& \frac{mn^2+2mn+2n^2+n}{2} = \frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\]
Hence \[\begin{aligned} \sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i) &=& \frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] and is constant for all \(1 \leq k \leq m\).
Using the above values, we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(H_k) &=& k+mn+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& k+\frac{2mn+n^2+n+n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& k+\frac{n^2(m+3)+2n(2m+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] for all \(1 \leq k \leq m\). So, \(\{\sum f(H_1),\sum f(H_2),\cdots,\sum f(H_m)=a,a+d,\cdots,a+(m-1)d\}\) forms an arithmetic progression with \(a= (1+\frac{n^2(m+3)+2n(2m+1)}{2})\) and common difference \(d=1\). Thus in this case, the graph \(G\) is a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable.

Case 2: \(m=n\).
Now the edges of \(G\) can be labeled as shown in Table \(2\).

\(f\) \(v_1\) \(v_2\) \(…\) \(v_{n-1}\) \(v_n\)
\(u_1\) \(3n\) \(3n+1\) \(…\) \((n+1)n\) \((n+1)n+1\)
\(u_2\) \(3n-1\) \(3n+2\) \(…\) \((n+1)n-1\) \((n+1)n+2\)
\(u_3\) \(3n-2\) \(3n+3\) \(…\) \((n+1)n-2\) \((n+1)n+3\)
\(\vdots\) \(…\) \(…\) \(…\) \(…\) \(…\)
\(u_k\) \(3n-(k-1)\) \(3n+k\) \(…\) \((n+1)n-(k-1)\) \((n+1)n+k\)
\(\vdots\) \(…\) \(…\) \(…\) \(…\) \(…\)
\(u_{n-1}\) \(2n+2\) \(4n-1\) \(…\) \(n(n)+2\) \((n+2)n-1\)
\(u_n\) \(2n+1\) \(4n\) \(…\) \(n(n)+1\) \((n+2)n\)


We prove the result for \(n=k\) and the result follows for all \(1 \leq k \leq n\).
From Table \(2\) and from definition of \(f\), we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(H_k) &=& f(u_k)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(v_i)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i ) = k+\sum_{i=1}^n (n+i)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i ) \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] Now, \[\begin{aligned} \sum_{i=1}^n f(v_i) &=& (n+1)+(n+2)+\cdots+(n+n)= (n)n+(1+2+\cdots+n) \nonumber \\ &=& (n)n+\frac{n(n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] Also \[\begin{aligned} \sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i) &=& (3n-(k-1))+(3n+k)+(5n-(k-1))+(5n+k)+\cdots \nonumber \\ &\ \ & +((n+1)n-(k-1))+((n+1)n+k) \nonumber \\ &=& (3n+1)+3n+(5n+1)+5n+\cdots+((n+1)n+1)+(n+1)n \nonumber \\ &=& 2(3n+5n+\cdots +(n+1)n)+\frac{n}{2}(1) \nonumber \\ &=& 2n(3+5+\cdots +(n+1))+\frac{n}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& 2n((1+2+3+\cdots+(n+1))-(2+4+6+\cdots+n)-1)+\frac{n}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& 2n(\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}-2\frac{(\frac{n}{2})(\frac{n+1}{2})}{2}-1)+\frac{n}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& 2(\frac{n^2+3n+2}{2}-\frac{(n^2+2n)}{4}-1)+\frac{n}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& 2n(\frac{2n^2+6n+4-n^2-2n-4}{4}+\frac{n}{2} = \frac{n(n^2+4n+n)}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& \frac{n^3+2n^2+2n^2+n}{2} = \frac{n^2(n+2)+(n(2n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] Hence \[\begin{aligned} \sum_{i=1}^n f(u_k v_i) &=& \frac{n^2(n+2)+n(2n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] and is constant for all \(1 \leq k \leq n\).
Using the above values, we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(H_k) &=& k+(n)n+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\frac{n^2(n+2)+n(2n+1)}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& k+\frac{2(n)n+n^2+n+n^2(n+2)+n(2n+1)}{2} \nonumber \\ &=& k+\frac{n^2(n+3)+2n(2n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] for all \(1 \leq k \leq n\). So, \(\{\sum f(H_1),\sum f(H_2),\cdots,\sum f(H_n)=a,a+d,\cdots,a+(n-1)d\}\) forms an arithmetic progression with \(a= (1+\frac{n^2(n+3)+2n(2n+1)}{2})\) and common difference \(d=1\). Thus in this case also, the graph \(G\) is a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable. ◻

Theorem 2. If a non-trivial \(H\)-decomposable graph \(G\cong K_{m,n}\) is \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable graph with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even and if the sum of edge labels of a decomposition \(H_j\) is denoted by \(\sum f(E(H_j))\) then \(\sum f(E(H_j))\) is constant for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\) and it is given by \(\sum f(E(H_j))=\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2}\).

Proof. Suppose \(G\) is \(H\)-decomposable and possesses a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling \(f\), then by Theorem 1, for each \(H_j\) in the \(H\)-decomposition of \(G\), we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(E(H_j)) &=& \sum_{i=1}^n f(u_jv_i)= \frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2} \end{aligned}\] which is true for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\). Thus \(\sum f(E(H_j))\) is constant for all \(1 \leq k \leq m\) and it is given by \(\sum f(E(H_j))=\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2}\). ◻

Theorem 3. If a non-trivial \(H\)-decomposable graph \(G\cong K_{m,n}\) is \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposable graph with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even and if the sum of vertex labels of a decomposition \(H_j\) is denoted by \(\sum f(V(H_j))\) then
\(\{\sum f(V(H_1)),\sum f(V(H_2)),\cdots, \sum f(V(H_m))\}=\{a,a+d,\cdots,a+(m-1)d\}\) with \(a=(mn+1)+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) and \(d=1\).

Proof. Suppose \(G\) is \(H\)-decomposable and possesses a \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling \(f\), then by Theorem 1, for each \(H_j\) in the \(H\)-decomposition of \(G\), we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(V(H_j)) &=& f(u_j)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(v_i) = j+\sum_{i=1}^n (m+i) = j+((m+1)+(m+2)+\cdots+(m+n)) \nonumber \\ &=& j+mn+\frac{n(n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] which is true for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\). Thus \(\{\sum f(V(H_1)),\sum f(V(H_2)),\cdots, \\ \sum f(V(H_m))\}=\{a,a+d,\cdots,a+(m-1)d\}\) with \(a=(mn+1)+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) and \(d=1\). ◻

Theorem 4. Let \(G\cong K_{m,n}\) be a \(H\)-decomposable graph with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even and if \(V(G)=U(G) \cup W(G)\) with \(|U(G)|=m\) and \(|W(G)|=n\). let \(g\) be a bijection from \(V(G)\) onto \(\{1,2,\cdots,p\}\) with \(g(U(G))=\{1,2,\cdots,m\}\) and \(g(W(G))=\{(m+1),(m+2),\cdots,(m+n=p)\}\) then \(g\) can be extended to an \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling if and only if \(\sum f(E(H_j))\) is constant for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\) and it is given by \(\sum f(E(H_j))=\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2}\).

Proof. Suppose \(G\cong K_{m.n}\) be a \(H\)-decomposable graph with both \(m\) and \(n\) are even and if \(V(G)=U(G) \cup W(G)\) with \(|U(G)|=m\) and \(|W(G)|=n\). let \(g\) be a bijection from \(V(G)\) onto \(\{1,2,\cdots,p\}\) with \(g(U(G))=\{1,2,\cdots,m\}\) and \(g(W(G))=\{(m+1),(m+2),\cdots,(m+n=p)\}\). Assume that \(\sum f(E(H_j))\) is constant for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\) and it is given by \(\sum f(E(H_j))=\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2}\). Define \(f: V(G)\cup E(G)\rightarrow {\{1,2,…,p+q\}}\) as \(f(u_i)=g(u_i)\); \(f(u_j)=g(u_j)\) for all \(1\leq i \leq m\); \(1\leq j \leq n\) and the edge labels are in either Table \(1\) (if \(m\neq n\)) or Table \(2\) (if \(m=n\)) then by Theorem \(2.1\), for each \(H_j\) in the \(H\)-decomposition of \(G\), we get \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(V(H_j)) &=& f(u_j)+\sum_{i=1}^n f(v_i)= j+\sum_{i=1}^n (m+i) = j+((m+1)+(m+2)+\cdots+(m+n)) \nonumber \\ &=& j+mn+\frac{n(n+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] which is true for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\). So, we have \(\{\sum f(V(H_1)),\sum f(V(H_2)),\cdots, \sum f(V(H_m))\}=\{a,a+d,\cdots,a+(m-1)d\}\) with \(a=(mn+1)+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) and \(d=1\). Hence, \[\begin{aligned} \sum f(H_j)&=& \sum f(V(H_j)) +\sum f(E(H_j))= (j+mn+\frac{n(n+1)}{2})+ (\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2}) \nonumber \\ &=& j+\frac{2mn+n^2+n+n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2} = j+\frac{n^2(m+3)+2n(2m+1)}{2} \nonumber. \end{aligned}\] for every \(H_j\) in the \(H\)-decomposition of \(G\) and for all \(1\leq j \leq m\). Thus we have, \(f\) is an \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling.
Suppose \(g\) can be extended to an \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic labeling \(f\) of \(G\) with with \(a=1+\frac{n^2(m+3)+2n(2m+1)}{2}\) and \(d=1\). Then by Theorem 2 \(\sum f(E(H_j))\) is constant for all \(1 \leq j \leq m\) and it is given by \(\sum f(E(H_j))=\frac{n^2(m+2)+n(2m+1)}{2}\). ◻

3. Conclusion

In this paper, we studied the \(H\)\(V\)-super-strong-\((a,d)\)-antimagic decomposition of \(K_{m,n}\) with \(n\geq1\) and both \(m\) and \(n\) are even.
