چکیده
Given a finite or infinite graph G and positive integers `, h1, h2, h3, an L(h1, h2, h3)labelling of G with span ` is a mapping f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, . . . , `} such that, for i = 1, 2, 3 and any u, v ∈ V (G) at distance i in G, |f(u)−f(v)| ≥ hi. A C(h1, h2, h3)-labelling of G with span ` is defined similarly by requiring |f(u)− f(v)|` ≥ hi instead, where |x|` = min{|x|, `− |x|}. The minimum span of an L(h1, h2, h3)-labelling, or a C(h1, h2, h3)-labelling, of G is denoted by λh1,h2,h3(G), or σh1,h2,h3(G), respectively. Two related invariants, λ ∗ h1,h2,h3 (G) and σ∗ h1,h2,h3(G), are defined similarly by requiring further that for every vertex u there exists an interval Iu mod (` + 1) or mod `, respectively, such that the neighbours of u are assigned labels from Iu and Iv ∩ Iw = ∅ for every edge vw of G. A recent result asserts that the L(2, 1, 1)-labelling problem is NP-complete even for the class of trees. In this paper we study the L(h, p, p) and C(h, p, p) labelling problems for finite or infinite trees T with finite maximum degree, where h ≥ p ≥ 1 are integers. We give sharp bounds on λh,p,p(T ), λ ∗ h,p,p(T ), σh,1,1(T ) and σ ∗ h,1,1(T ), together with linear time approximation algorithms for the L(h, p, p)-labelling and the C(h, 1, 1)-labelling problems for finite trees. We obtain the precise values of these four invariants for complete m-ary trees with height at least 4, the infinite complete m-ary tree, and the infinite (m + 1)-regular tree and its finite subtrees induced by vertices up to a given level. We give sharp bounds on σh,p,p(T ) and σ∗ h,p,p(T ) for trees with maximum degree ∆ ≤ h/p, and as a special case we obtain that σh,1,1(T ) = σ ∗ h,1,1(T ) = 2h+ ∆− 1 for any tree T with ∆ ≤ h.

Connections between labellings of trees
There are many long-standing conjectures related with some labellings of trees. It is important to connect labellings that are related with conjectures. We find some connections between known labellings of simple graphs.
متن کاملCyclic Labellings with Constraints at Two Distances
Motivated by problems in radio channel assignment, we consider the vertexlabelling of graphs with nonnegative integers. The objective is to minimize the span of the labelling, subject to constraints imposed at graph distances one and two. We show that the minimum span is (up to rounding) a piecewise linear function of the constraints, and give a complete specification, together with the associa...
متن کاملRelaxed Graceful Labellings of Trees
A graph G on m edges is considered graceful if there is a labelling f of the vertices of G with distinct integers in the set {0, 1, . . . ,m} such that the induced edge labelling g defined by g(uv) = |f(u) − f(v)| is a bijection to {1, . . . ,m}. We here consider some relaxations of these conditions as applied to tree labellings: 1. Edge-relaxed graceful labellings, in which repeated edge label...
متن کاملAnalysis of label-based parameters in increasing trees
Simple families of increasing trees can be constructed from simply generated tree families, if one considers for every tree of size n all its increasing labellings, i.e., labellings of the nodes by distinct integers of the set {1, . . . , n} in such a way that each sequence of labels along any branch starting at the root is increasing. Three such tree families are of particular interest: recurs...
متن کاملImproper Graceful and Odd-graceful Labellings of Graph Theory
Abstract In this paper we define some new labellings for trees, called the in-improper and out-improper odd-graceful labellings such that some trees labelled with the new labellings can induce graceful graphs having at least a cycle. We, next, apply the new labellings to construct large scale of graphs having improper graceful/odd-graceful labellings or having graceful/odd-graceful labellings.
