L(2,1)-labelling of Circular-arc Graph

Abstract

An L(2,1)-labelling of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is ${\lambda }_{2,1}(G)$ a function $f$ from the vertex set V (G) to the set of non-negative integers such that adjacent vertices get numbers at least two apart, and vertices at distance two get distinct numbers. The L(2,1)-labelling number denoted by ${\lambda }_{2,1}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum range of labels over all such labelling. In this article, it is shown that, for a circular-arc graph $G$, the upper bound of ${\lambda }_{2,1}(G)$ is $\Delta +3\omega$, where $\Delta$ and $\omega$ represents the maximum degree of the vertices and size of maximum clique respectively.
