A Note on L（2, 1）-labelling of Trees

An L（2, 1）-labelling of a graph G is a function from the vertex set V（G） to the set of all nonnegative integers such that │f（u） - f（v）│≥2 if dG（u, v） = 1 and │f（u） - f（v）│ ≥ 1 if dG（u, v） = 2. The L（2, 1）-labelling problem is to find the smallest number, denoted by A（G）, such that there exists an L（...

Summary:An L（2, 1）-labelling of a graph G is a function from the vertex set V（G） to the set of all nonnegative integers such that │f（u） - f（v）│≥2 if dG（u, v） = 1 and │f（u） - f（v）│ ≥ 1 if dG（u, v） = 2. The L（2, 1）-labelling problem is to find the smallest number, denoted by A（G）, such that there exists an L（2, 1）-labelling function with no label greater than it. In this paper, we study this problem for trees. Our results improve the result of Wang [The L（2, 1）-labelling of trees, Discrete Appl. Math. 154 （2006） 598-603].
