Two models of two-dimensional bandwidth problems. (English) Zbl 1229.68058

Summary: The two-dimensional bandwidth problem is to embed a graph \(G\) into an \(n\times n\) grid in the plane such that the maximum distance between adjacent vertices is as small as possible. Here, the “distance” has two different meanings: the \(L_{1}\)-norm distance and \(L_{\infty }\)-norm distance. So we have two models of two-dimensional bandwidth problem. This paper investigates the basic properties and relations of these two models. Some lower bounds, upper bounds, and exact results are presented.
