<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">A connected graph on 2n vertices is defined to be xor-magic if the vertices can be labeled with distinct n-bit binary numbers in such a way that the label at each vertex is equal to the bitwise xor of the labels on the adjacent vertices. We show that there is at least one 3-regular xor-magic graph on 2n vertices for every n ⩾ 2.
