The radio antipodal and radio numbers of the hypercube

International audience; A radio k-labeling of a connected graph G is an assignment f of non negative integers to the vertices of G such that |f(x) − f(y)| \ge k + 1 − d(x, y), for any two vertices x and y, where d(x, y) is the distance between x and y in G. The radio antipodal number is the minimum span of a radio (diam(G) − 1)-labeling of G and the radio number is the minimum span of a radio (diam(G))-labeling of G. In this paper, the radio antipodal number and the radio number of the hypercube are determined by using a generalization of binary Gray codes.

Total and fractional total colourings of circulant graphs

International audience; In this paper, the total chromatic number and the fractional total chromatic number of circulant graphs are studied. For cubic circulant graphs we give upper bounds on the fractional total chromatic number and for 4-regular circulant graphs we find the total chromatic number for some cases and we give the exact value of the fractional total chromatic number in most cases.

Multilevel Bandwidth and Radio Labelings of Graphs

This paper introduces a generalization of the graph bandwidth parameter: for a graph G and an integer k ≤ diam(G), the k-level bandwidth Bk(G)of G is defined by Bk(G) = minγ max{|γ(x)-γ(y)|-d(x, y)+1 : x, y ∈ V (G), d(x, y) ≤ k}, the minimum being taken among all proper numberings γ of the vertices of G. We present general bounds on Bk(G) along with more specific results for k = 2 and the exact value for k = diam(G). We also exhibit relations between the k-level bandwidth and radio k-labelings of graphs from which we derive a upper bound for the radio number of an arbitrary graph.

Linear and cyclic radio k-labelings of trees

International audience; Motivated by problems in radio channel assignments, we consider radio k-labelings of graphs. For a connected graph G and an integer k ≥ 1, a linear radio k-labeling of G is an assignment f of nonnegative integers to the vertices of G such that |f(x)−f(y)| ≥ k+1−dG(x,y), for any two distinct vertices x and y, where dG(x,y) is the distance between x and y in G. A cyclic k-labeling of G is defined analogously by using the cyclic metric on the labels. In both cases, we are interested in minimizing the span of the labeling. The linear (cyclic, respectively) radio k-labeling number of G is the minimum span of a linear (cyclic, respectively) radio k-labeling of G. In this p…

Radio k-Labelings for Cartesian Products of Graphs

International audience; Frequency planning consists in allocating frequencies to the transmitters of a cellular network so as to ensure that no pair of transmitters interfere. We study the problem of reducing interference by modeling this by a radio k-labeling problem on graphs: For a graph G and an integer k ≥ 1, a radio k-labeling of G is an assignment f of non negative integers to the vertices of G such that |f(x)−f(y)| ≥ k+1−dG(x,y), for any two vertices x and y, where dG(x,y) is the distance between x and y in G. The radio k-chromatic number is the minimum of max{f(x)−f(y):x,y ∈ V(G)} over all radio k-labelings f of G. In this paper we present the radio k-labeling for the Cartesian pro…
