Title
Zero-Sum flow numbers of regular graphs
Abstract
As an analogous concept of a nowhere-zero flow for directed graphs, we consider zero-sum flows for undirected graphs in this article. For an undirected graph G , a zero-sum flow is an assignment of non-zero integers to the edges such that the sum of the values of all edges incident with each vertex is zero, and we call it a zero-sum k -flow if the values of edges are less than k . We define the zero-sum flow number of G as the least integer k for which G admitting a zero-sum k -flow. In this paper, among others we calculate the zero-sum flow numbers for regular graphs and also the zero-sum flow numbers for Cartesian products of regular graphs with paths.
