Abstract An H-magic labeling of a H-decomposable graph G is a bijection f : V (G)∪E(G) → {1, 2, ..., p + q} such that for every copy H in the decomposition, v∈V (H) f (v) + f (e) is constant. The labeling f is said to be H-E-super magic if f (E(G)) = e∈E(H) {1, 2, ..., q}. In this paper, we prove that a complete bipartite graph is H-E-super magic decomposable where H ∼ = K1,n with n ≥ 1. Keywords: H-decomposable graph, H-E-super magic labeling.

Introduction
In this paper we consider only finite and simple undirected bipartite graphs. The vertex and edge sets of a graph G denoted by V (G) and E(G) respectively and we let |V (G)| = p and |E(G)| = q. For graph theoretic notations, we follow [2,3]. Many kinds of labeling have been studied and an excellent survey of graph labelings can be found in [4]. Suppose G is H-decomposable. A total labeling f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2, · · · , p + q} is called an H-magic labeling of G if there exists a positive integer k (called magic constant) such that for every copy H in the decom position, v∈V (H) f (v) + e∈E(H) f (e) = k. A graph G that admits such a labeling is called an H-magic decomposable graph. An H-magic labeling f is called a H-E-super magic labeling if f (E(G)) = {1, 2, · · · , q}. A graph that admits a H-E-super magic labeling is called a H-E-super magic decomposable graph. For further details on H-magic type labelings refer [5,6,8,11]. In [9], Subbiah and Pandimadevi introduced the notion of H-E-super magic decomposition of graphs. Yoshimi Ecawa et al. [10] studied the decomposition of complete bipartite graphs into edge-disjoint subgraphs with star components. The notion of star-subgraph was introduced by Akiyama and Kano in [1]. A subgraph F of a graph G is called a star-subgraph if each component of F is a star. Here by a star, we mean a complete bipartite graph of the form K1,m with m ≥ 1. In [7], Marimuthu and Stalin Kumar studied the H-V -super magic decomposition of complete bipartite graphs. A subgraph F of a graph G is called a n-star-subgraph if F ∼ = K1,n with 2 ≤ n < p.

Main Result
In this section, we consider the graphs G ∼ = Kn,n and H ∼ = K1,n , where n ≥ 2. 2 Clearly p = 2n and q = n . Theorem 2.1 Suppose {H1 , H2 , · · · , Hn } is an n-star-decomposition of G. Then G is an n-star-E-super magic decomposable graph with magic constant {2n + n(n+1)(3n+1) }. 2 Proof. Let U = {u1 , u2 , · · · , un } and V = {v1 , v2 , · · · , vn } be the bipartition of G. Let {H1 , H2 , · · · , Hn } be an n-star decomposition of G, where each Hi is isomorphic to H with V (Hi ) = {ui , v1 , v2 , · · · , vn } and E(Hi ) = {ui v1 , ui v2 , · · · , ui vn }, for 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Define a total labeling f : V (G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2, · · · , p + q} by f (ui ) = n2 + (2i − 1) and f (vi ) = n2 + 2i, for all i = 1, 2, · · · , n.
