Title
The L(2,1)-labeling of K1,n-free graphs and its applications
Abstract
An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) into the set of nonnegative integers such that |f(x)−f(y)|≥2 if d(x,y)=1 and |f(x)−f(y)|≥1 if d(x,y)=2, where d(x,y) denotes the distance between x and y in G. The L(2,1)-labeling number, λ(G), of G is the minimum k where G has an L(2,1)-labeling f with k being the absolute difference between the largest and smallest image points of f. In this work, we will study the L(2,1)-labeling on K1,n-free graphs where n≥3 and apply the result to unit sphere graphs which are of particular interest in the channel assignment problem.
