文摘Given two non-negative integers h and k, an L（h, k）-labeling of a graph G = （V, E） is a function from the set V to a set of colors, such that adjacent nodes take colors at distance at least h, and nodes at distance 2 take colors at distance at least k. The aim of the L（h, k）-labeling problem is to minimize the greatest used color. Since the decisional version of this problem is NP-complete, it is important to investigate particular classes of graphs for which the problem can be efficiently solved. It is well known that the most common interconnection topologies, such as Butterfly-like, Beneg, CCC, Trivalent Cayley networks, are all characterized by a similar structure： they have nodes organized as a matrix and connections are divided into layers. So we naturally introduce a new class of graphs, called （l × n）-multistage graphs, containing the most common interconnection topologies, on which we study the L（h, k）-labeling. A general algorithm for L（h, k）-labeling these graphs is presented, and from this method an efficient L（2, 1）-labeling for Butterfly and CCC networks is derived. Finally we describe a possible generalization of our approach.
