Harary's conjectures on integral sum graphs (Q1126299)

The author deals with integral sum graphs introduced by F. Harary in 1989. He investigates two conjectures given by F. Harary concerning the sum number \(\sigma(G)\) and the integral sum number \(\zeta(G)\) of a graph \(G\). The author succeeds in proving the statement that \(\zeta(K_n)= n-3\) for each natural number \(n\geq 4\), and disproving the conjecture that all trees \(T\) with \(\zeta(T)= 0\) are caterpillars, by giving counterexamples.
