An $L(3,2,1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ of nonnegative integers to vertices such that $\vert f(x)-f(y)\vert > 3-\mbox{dist}_G(x,y)$ for every pair $x,y$ of vertices of $G$, where $\mbox{dist}_G(x,y)$ denotes the distance…

A vertex k-ranking is a labeling of the vertices of a graph with integers from 1 to k so any path connecting two vertices with the same label will pass through a vertex with a greater label. The rank number of a graph is defined to be the…

For $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $|S|\geq 2$, $\lambda(S)$ is the maximum number of edge-disjoint trees connecting $S$ in $G$. For an integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the \emph{generalized $k$-edge-connectivity} $\lambda_k(G)$ of $G$ is then…

An $L(2, 1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment of a nonnegative integer to each vertex of $G$ such that adjacent vertices receive integers that differ by at least two and vertices at distance two receive distinct integers. The span…

In 2013, Duch{\^e}ne, Kheddouci, Nowakowski and Tahraoui [4, 9] introduced a labeled version of the graph packing problem. It led to the introduction of a new parameter for graphs, the k-labeled packing number $\lambda$ k. This parameter…

Let $H$ and $G$ be graphs such that $H$ has at least 3 vertices and is connected. The $H$-line graph of $G$, denoted by $HL(G)$, is that graph whose vertices are the edges of $G$ and where two vertices of $HL(G)$ are adjacent if they are…

We give bounds on the L(2,1)-labeling number of a simple graph in terms of its order and its maximum degree. We also describe an infinite class of graphs of which the elements have the highest L(2,1)-labeling numbers in terms of their…

A $(2,1)$-total labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ and the edge set $E(G)$ to the set $\{0,1,...,k\}$ of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ is a vertex and $y$ is an edge incident…

An {\it additive labeling} of a graph $G$ is a function $ \ell :V(G) \rightarrow\mathbb{N}$, such that for every two adjacent vertices $ v $ and $ u$ of $ G $, $ \sum_{w \sim v}\ell(w)\neq \sum_{w \sim u}\ell(w) $ ($ x \sim y $ means that $…

For positive integers $j\ge k$, an $L(j,k)$-labeling of a digraph $D$ is a function $f$ from $V(D)$ into the set of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge j$ if $x$ is adjacent to $y$ in $D$ and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge k$ if $x$ is of…

The 1-2-3 Conjecture asks whether almost all graphs can be (edge-)labelled with $1,2,3$ so that no two adjacent vertices are incident to the same sum of labels. In the last decades, several aspects of this problem have been studied in…

Let G=(V,E) be an undirected graph, lambda_k be the k-th smallest eigenvalue of the normalized laplacian matrix of G. There is a basic fact in algebraic graph theory that lambda_k > 0 if and only if G has at most k-1 connected components.…

For a graph $G$, a $k$-radio labeling of $G$ is the assignment of positive integers to the vertices of $G$ such that the closer two vertices are on the graph, the greater the difference in labels is required to be. Specifically, $\vert…

A distance labeling scheme is an assignment of bit-labels to the vertices of an undirected, unweighted graph such that the distance between any pair of vertices can be decoded solely from their labels. An important class of distance…

We prove that the diameter of any unweighted connected graph G is O(k log n/lambda_k), for any k>= 2. Here, lambda_k is the k smallest eigenvalue of the normalized laplacian of G. This solves a problem posed by Gil Kalai.

The k-limited packing number, $L_k(G)$, of a graph $G$, introduced by Gallant, Gunther, Hartnell, and Rall, is the maximum cardinality of a set $X$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has at most $k$ elements of $X$ in its…

Given a graph $G$, a \textit{$k$-total difference labeling} of the graph is a total labeling $f$ from the set of edges and vertices to the set $\{1, 2, \cdots k\}$ satisfying that for any edge $\{u,v\}$, $f(\{u,v\})=|f(u)-f(v)|$. If $G$ is…

Given a graph, an $L(p,1)$-labeling of the graph is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set to the set of nonnegative integers such that for any pair of vertices $(u,v),|f (u) - f (v)| \ge p$ if $u$ and $v$ are adjacent, and $f(u) \neq f(v)$…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the smallest number of vertices that can be removed from a non-empty graph $G$ so that the resulting graph has a smaller maximum degree. Let $\lambda_{\rm e}(G)$ be the smallest number of edges that can be removed from…

A two-dimensional grid consists of vertices of the form (i,j) for 1 \leq i \leq m and 1 \leq j \leq n, for fixed m,n > 1. Two vertices are adjacent if the \ell_1 distance between their vectors is equal to 1. A landmark set is a subset of…
