Graph distance-dependent labeling related to code assignment in computer networks. (English) Zbl 1063.05118

The authors study the code assignment problem in computer networks which is a variation of an interesting graph labeling problem introduced by J. R. Griggs and R. K. Yeh [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 5, 586–595 (1992; Zbl 0767.05080)]. In this connection they investigate labeling for nonnegative integers \(d_1\), \(d_2\) such that \((d_1,d_2)\in \{(0, 1),(1,1),(1,2)\}\). It is stated that an \(L_1(d_1,d_2)\)-labeling of a graph \(G\) is a function \(f: V(G)\to \{0,1,2,\dots\}\) such that \(|f(u)- f(v)|\geq d_i\) whenever the distance between \(u\) and \(v\) is \(i\) apart, \(i\in \{1,2\}\). The number \(\lambda_{d_1,d_2}(G)\) denotes the minimum span of any such labeling of \(G\) and some results about \(\lambda_{d_1,d_2}(G)\) for \((d_1,d_2)\in \{(0,1), (1,1), (1,2)\}\) for some particular graphs are presented here. An upper bound on \(\lambda_{1,2}(G)\) in terms of the maximum degree \(\Delta\) of \(G\) is also given in the form \(\lambda_{1,2}(G)\leq 2\Delta^2-\Delta\).
