Graph distance‐dependent labeling related to code assignment in computer networks

For nonnegative integers d₁, d₂, and L(d₁, d₂)‐labeling of a graph G, is a function f : V(G) → {0, 1, 2, …} such that |f(u) − f(v)| ≥ d_i whenever the distance between u and v is i in G, for i = 1, 2. The L(d₁, d₂)‐number of G, λ(G) is the smallest k such that there exists an L(d₁, d₂)‐labeling with the largest label k. These labelings have an application to a computer code assignment problem. The task is to assign integer “control codes” to a network of computer stations with distance restrictions, which allow d₁ ≤ d₂. In this article, we will study the labelings with (d₁, d₂) ∈ {(0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 2)}. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2005
