Abstract

An L(3,2,1)L(3,2,1)-labeling of a graph GG is an assignment ff of nonnegative integers to vertices such that f(x)f(y)>3\mboxdistG(x,y)\vert f(x)-f(y)\vert > 3-\mbox{dist}_G(x,y) for every pair x,yx,y of vertices of GG, where \mboxdistG(x,y)\mbox{dist}_G(x,y) denotes the distance between xx and yy in GG. The minimum span (i.e., the difference between the largest and the smallest value) among all L(3,2,1)L(3,2,1)-labelings of GG is denoted by λ(3,2,1)(G)\lambda_{(3,2,1)}(G). In this paper, we study L(3,2,1)L(3,2,1)-labelings of three classes of circulant graphs. Namely, we investigate λ(3,2,1)\lambda_{(3,2,1)} of circulant graphs Cn(1,t)C_n(1,t), where t{3,4,5}t\in\{3,4,5\} and nn is the order of the graph. This paper is a continuation of a recent publications of V. Bianco and T. Calamoneri who studied the square of cycles, i.e., circulant graphs Cn(1,2)C_n(1,2).
