Abstract:
L(s, t)-labeling is a variation of graph coloring which is motivated by a special kind of the channel assignment problem.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 Δ≥2.It is proved that if 2s≥t≥0, then βst(T)=(Δ/2-1)t+s; if 02s<t and Δ is even, then βst(T)=(Δ-1)t/2; and if 02s<t and Δ is odd, then βst(T)=(Δ-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.
