Distance-two labelings of digraphs
For positive integers , an -labeling of a digraph is a
function from into the set of nonnegative integers such that
if is adjacent to in and if
is of distant two to in . Elements of the image of are called
labels. The -labeling problem is to determine the
-number of a digraph , which
is the minimum of the maximum label used in an -labeling of . This
paper studies - numbers of digraphs. In particular, we
determine - numbers of digraphs whose longest dipath is of
length at most 2, and -numbers of ditrees having dipaths
of length 4. We also give bounds for -numbers of bipartite
digraphs whose longest dipath is of length 3. Finally, we present a linear-time
algorithm for determining -numbers of ditrees whose
longest dipath is of length 3.Comment: 12 pages; presented in SIAM Coference on Discrete Mathematics, June

The Radio Number of Grid Graphs
The radio number problem uses a graph-theoretical model to simulate optimal
frequency assignments on wireless networks. A radio labeling of a connected
graph is a function such that for every pair
of vertices , we have where denotes the diameter of and
the distance between vertices and . Let be the
difference between the greatest label and least label assigned to . Then,
the \textit{radio number} of a graph is defined as the minimum
value of over all radio labelings of . So far, there have
been few results on the radio number of the grid graph: In 2009 Calles and
Gomez gave an upper and lower bound for square grids, and in 2008 Flores and
Lewis were unable to completely determine the radio number of the ladder graph
(a 2 by grid). In this paper, we completely determine the radio number of
the grid graph for , characterizing three subcases of the
problem and providing a closed-form solution to each. These results have
implications in the optimization of radio frequency assignment in wireless
networks such as cell towers and environmental sensors.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure
On n-fold L(j,k)-and circular L(j,k)-labelings of graphs
AbstractWe initiate research on the multiple distance 2 labeling of graphs in this paper.Let n,j,k be positive integers. An n-fold L(j,k)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment f of sets of nonnegative integers of order n to the vertices of G such that, for any two vertices u,v and any two integers a∈f(u), b∈f(v), |a−b|≥j if uv∈E(G), and |a−b|≥k if u and v are distance 2 apart. The span of f is the absolute difference between the maximum and minimum integers used by f. The n-fold L(j,k)-labeling number of G is the minimum span over all n-fold L(j,k)-labelings of G.Let n,j,k and m be positive integers. An n-fold circular m-L(j,k)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment f of subsets of {0,1,…,m−1} of order n to the vertices of G such that, for any two vertices u,v and any two integers a∈f(u), b∈f(v), min{|a−b|,m−|a−b|}≥j if uv∈E(G), and min{|a−b|,m−|a−b|}≥k if u and v are distance 2 apart. The minimum m such that G has an n-fold circular m-L(j,k)-labeling is called the n-fold circular L(j,k)-labeling number of G.We investigate the basic properties of n-fold L(j,k)-labelings and circular L(j,k)-labelings of graphs. The n-fold circular L(j,k)-labeling numbers of trees, and the hexagonal and p-dimensional square lattices are determined. The upper and lower bounds for the n-fold L(j,k)-labeling numbers of trees are obtained. In most cases, these bounds are attainable. In particular, when k=1 both the lower and the upper bounds are sharp. In many cases, the n-fold L(j,k)-labeling numbers of the hexagonal and p-dimensional square lattices are determined. In other cases, upper and lower bounds are provided. In particular, we obtain the exact values of the n-fold L(j,1)-labeling numbers of the hexagonal and p-dimensional square lattices
Radio Labelings of Distance Graphs
A radio -labeling of a connected graph is an assignment of non
negative integers to the vertices of such that for any two vertices and , , where is the
distance between and in . In this paper, we study radio labelings of
distance graphs, i.e., graphs with the set of integers as vertex set and
in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if .Comment: 14 page
On Regular Graphs Optimally Labeled with a Condition at Distance Two
For positive integers , the -number of graph Gis the smallest span among all integer labelings of V(G) such that vertices at distance two receive labels which differ by at least k and adjacent vertices receive labels which differ by at least j. We prove that the -number of any r-regular graph is no less than the -number of the infinite r-regular tree . Defining an r-regular graph G to be -optimal if and only if , we establish the equivalence between -optimal graphs and r-regular bipartite graphs with a certain edge coloring property for the case . The structure of -regular optimal graphs for is investigated, with special attention to . For the latter, we establish that a (2,1,r)-optimal graph, through a series of edge transformations, has a canonical form. Finally, we apply our results on optimality to the derivation of the -numbers of prisms
A Lower Bound for Radio -chromatic Number of an Arbitrary Graph
Radio -coloring is a variation of Hale's channel assignment problem, in which one seeks to assign positive integers to the vertices of a graph , subject to certain constraints involving the distance between the vertices. Specifically, for any simple connected graph with diameter and apositive integer , , a radio -coloring of is an assignment of positive integers to the vertices of such that , where and are any two distinct vertices of and is the distance between and .In this paper we give a lower bound for the radio -chromatic number of an arbitrarygraph in terms of , the total number of vertices and apositive integer such that for all . If is the triameter we get a better lower bound. We also find the triameter for several graphs, and show that the lower bound obtained for these graphs is sharp for the case
