Abstract: With any (not necessarily proper) edge k-colouring gamma:E(G)longrightarrow1,dots,k of a graph G,one can associate a vertex colouring sigmagamma given by sigmagamma(v)=sumeivgamma(e).A neighbour-sum-distinguishing edge k-colouring is an edge colouring whose associated vertex colouring is proper.The neighbour-sum-distinguishing index of a graph G is then the smallest k for which G admitsa neighbour-sum-distinguishing edge k-colouring.These notions naturally extends to total colourings of graphs that assign colours to both vertices and edges.We study in this paper equitable neighbour-sum-distinguishing edge colourings andtotal colourings, that is colourings gamma for whichthe number of elements in any two colour classes of gamma differ by at most one.We determine the equitable neighbour-sum-distinguishing indexof complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and forests,and the equitable neighbour-sum-distinguishing total chromatic numberof complete graphs and bipartite graphs.
