Abstract

In this article, we introduce a formal denition for integral arithmagons. Informally, an integral arithmagon is a polygonal gure with integer labeled vertices and edges in which, under a binary operation, adjacent vertices equal the included edge. By considering the group of automorphisms for the associated graph, we count the number of integral arithmagons whose exterior sum or product equals a xed number.
