Abstract: Graph labeling is a well-known and intensively investigated problem in graph theory. Sparse anti-magic squares are useful in constructing vertex-magic labeling for graphs. For positive integers n,d and d<n, an nimesn array A based on 0,1,cdots,nd is called emph{a sparse anti-magic square of order n with density d}, denoted by SAMS(n,d), if each element of 1,2,cdots,nd occurs exactly one entry of A, and its row-sums, column-sums and two main diagonal sums constitute a set of 2n+2 consecutive integers. An SAMS(n,d) is called emph{regular} if there are exactly d positive entries in each row, each column and each main diagonal. In this paper, we investigate the existence of regular sparse anti-magic squares of order nequiv1,5pmod6, and it is proved that for any nequiv1,5pmod6, there exists a regular SAMS(n,d) if and only if 2leqdleqn1.
