Labelling Problem: an Updated Survey and Annotated Bibliography 1 The L(h, k)-Labelling Problem: An Updated Survey and Annotated Bibliography 1 Tiziana Calamoneri Department of Computer Science “Sapienza” University of Rome - Italy via Salaria 113, 00198 Roma, Italy. Email: [email protected] Given any fixed nonnegative integer values h and k, the L(h, k)- labelling problem consists in an assignment of nonnegative integers to the nodes of a graph such that adjacent nodes receive values which differ by at least h, and nodes connected by a 2 length path receive values which differ by at least k. The span of an L(h, k)-labelling is the difference between the largest and the smallest assigned frequency. The goal of the problem is to find out an L(h, k)-labelling with minimum span. The L(h, k)-labelling problem has been intensively studied following many approaches and restricted to many special cases, concerning both the values of h and k and the considered classes of graphs. This paper reviews the results from previous by published literature, looking at the problem with a graph algorithmic approach. It is an update of a previous survey written by the same author.

  • THE K-METRIC COLORINGS of a GRAPH 1. Introduction by the Four
    137 (2012) MATHEMATICA BOHEMICA No. 1, 45–63 THE k-METRIC COLORINGS OF A GRAPH Futaba Fujie-Okamoto, La Crosse, Willem Renzema, Ping Zhang, Kalamazoo (Received July 15, 2010) Abstract. For a nontrivial connected graph G of order n, the detour distance D(u, v) between two vertices u and v in G is the length of a longest u − v path in G. Detour distance is a metric on the vertex set of G. For each integer k with 1 6 k 6 n−1, a coloring c: V (G) → N is a k-metric coloring of G if |c(u) − c(v)| + D(u, v) > k + 1 for every two k distinct vertices u and v of G. The value χm(c) of a k-metric coloring c is the maximum k color assigned by c to a vertex of G and the k-metric chromatic number χm(G) of G is the minimum value of a k-metric coloring of G. For every nontrivial connected graph G of order 1 2 n−1 n, χm(G) 6 χm(G) 6 . 6 χm (G). Metric chromatic numbers provide a generalization of several well-studied coloring parameters in graphs. Upper and lower bounds have been k established for χm(G) in terms of other graphical parameters of a graph G and exact values of k-metric chromatic numbers have been determined for complete multipartite graphs and cycles. For a nontrivial connected graph G, the anti-diameter adiam(G) is the minimum detour distance between two vertices of G. We show that the adiam(G)-metric chromatic number of a graph G provides information on the Hamiltonian properties of the graph and investigate realization results and problems on this parameter.

The smallest number of colors needed to make Gl-radio connected is called the l-radio connection number of G. In this paper we introduce these notions and initiate the study of connectivity through radio colored paths, providing results on the 2-radio connection number, also called L(2, 1)-connection number: lower and upper bounds, existence problems, exact values for known classes of graphs and graph operations. Keywords: radio connection number, radio coloring, L(2, 1)-connection number, L(2, 1)-connectivity, L(2, 1)-labeling. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C15, 05C40, 05C38. 1. Introduction Various types of graph colorings were introduced in the literature motivated by problems in communication networks. An important property in communication networks is connectivity, that is to have paths for communication between each pair of vertices. Many times it is not sufficient to have arbitrary paths, but paths that assure a safe communication. For example, if interference may occur in communication, it is necessary to have paths along which interferences are avoided. Also, in security problems, each link may have an associated password or firewall and a path is considered secured if the passwords along it satisfy some requests.

Hajo Broersma Department of Applied Mathematics Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science University of Twente P.O.

In this survey paper we present a general framework for col- oring problems that was introduced in a joint paper which the author presented at WG2003. We show how a number of different types of color- ing problems, most of which have been motivated from frequency assign- ment, fit into this framework. We give a survey of the existing results, mainly based on and strongly biased by joint work of the author with sev- eral different groups of coauthors, include some new results, and discuss several open problems for each of the variants.

AMS Subject Classifications: 05C15,05C85,05C17 1 General introduction In the application area of frequency assignment graphs are used to model the topology and mutual interference between transmitters (receivers, base stations): the vertices of the graph represent the transmitters; two vertices are adjacent in the graph if the corresponding transmitters are so close (or so strong) that they are likely to interfere if they broadcast on the same or `similar' frequency channels.

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 Graphs In this thesis by a graph we mean a simple graph G = (V; E), where V is a finite nonempty set and E is a subset of the set of all 2-subsets of V . The elements in V and E are called the vertices and edges respectively. Sometimes the vertex and the edge sets of G are denoted by V (G) and E(G) respectively. The total number of vertices in V (G) is called the order of G. Two vertices x and y are said to be adjacent if {x; y} is an edge; otherwise they are non-adjacent. If e = {x; y} is an edge then both x and y are called the end vertices of e. If two vertices are Copyrightadjacent then each is called a neighbour of the other vertex. The complement of a graph G is the graph G on the same vertices of G such that two vertices of G are adjacent if and only if they are not adjacent in G. A graphIITG is called a completeKharagpur graph if for any two vertices x and y in G, {x; y} is an edge. In this thesis we denote a complete graph with n vertices by the symbol Kn. A graph G is called a bipartite graph if the vertex set V (G) can be Introduction partitioned into two nonempty subsets X and Y in such a way that each edge of G has one end vertex in X and another end vertex in Y . The partition {X; Y } is called a bipartition of G.A complete bipartite graph G is a bipartite graph with bipartition V (G) = X ∪ Y , such that every vertex in X is adjacent to every vertex in Y .
