Let s and t be any two nonnegative integers. An L (s, t)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment of integers to the vertices of G such that adjacent vertices receive integers which differ by at least s, and vertices that are at distance of two receive integers which differ by at least t. Given an L(s, t) -labeling f of a graph G, the L(s, t) edge span of f, βst ( G, f) = max { |f(u) -f(v)|: ( u, v) ∈ E(G) } is defined. The L( s, t) edge span of G, βst(G), is minβst(G,f), where the minimum runs over all L(s, t)-labelings f of G. Let T be any tree with a maximum degree of △≥2. It is proved that if 2s≥t≥0, then βst(T) =( [△/2 ] - 1)t +s; if 0≤2s 〈 t and △ is even, then βst(T) = [ (△ - 1) t/2 ] ; and if 0 ≤2s 〈 t and △ is odd, then βst(T) = (△ - 1) t/2 + s. Thus, the L(s, t) edge spans of the Cartesian product of two paths and of the square lattice are completely determined.展开更多

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.展开更多

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.

文摘Let G be an outerplanar graph with maximum degree △. Let χ(G^2) and A(G) denote the chromatic number of the square and the L(2, 1)-labelling number of G, respectively. In this paper we prove the following results: (1) χ(G^2) = 7 if △= 6; (2) λ(G) ≤ △ +5 if △ ≥ 4, and ),(G)≤ 7 if △ = 3; and (3) there is an outerplanar graph G with △ = 4 such that )λ(G) = 7. These improve some known results on the distance two labelling of outerplanar graphs.

文摘For positive numbers j and k, an L(j,k)-labeling f of G is an assignment of numbers to vertices of G such that |f(u)-f(v)|≥j if uv∈E(G), and |f(u)-f(v)|≥k if d(u,v)=2. Then the span of f is the difference between the maximum and the minimum numbers assigned by f. The L(j,k)-number of G, denoted by λj,k(G), is the minimum span over all L(j,k)-labelings of G. In this paper, we give some results about the L(j,k)-number of the direct product of a path and a cycle for j≤k.
