Abstract

For two given non-negative integers hh and kk, an L(h,k)L(h,k)-edge labeling of a graph G=(V(G),E(G))G=(V(G),E(G)) is a function f:E(G){0,1,,n}f':E(G) \xrightarrow{}\{0,1,\cdots, n\} such that e1,e2E(G)\forall e_1,e_2 \in E(G), f(e1)f(e2)h\vert f'(e_1)-f'(e_2) \vert \geq h when d(e1,e2)=1d'(e_1,e_2)=1 and f(e1)f(e2)k\vert f'(e_1)-f'(e_2) \vert \geq k when d(e1,e2)=2d'(e_1,e_2)=2 where d(e1,e2)d'(e_1,e_2) denotes the distance between e1e_1 and e2e_2 in GG. Here d(e1,e2)=kd'(e_1,e_2)=k' if there are at least (k1)(k'-1) number of edges in E(G)E(G) to connect e1e_1 and e2e_2 in GG. The objective is to find \textit{span} which is the minimum nn over all such L(h,k)L(h,k)-edge labeling and is denoted as λh,k(G)\lambda'_{h,k}(G). Motivated by the channel assignment problem in wireless cellular network, L(h,k)L(h,k)-edge labeling problem has been studied in various infinite regular grids. For infinite regular octagonal grid T8T_8, it was proved that 25λ1,2(T8)2825 \leq \lambda'_{1,2}(T_8) \leq 28 [Tiziana Calamoneri, International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, Vol. 26, No. 04, 2015] with a gap between lower and upper bounds. In this paper we fill the gap and prove that λ1,2(T8)=28\lambda'_{1,2}(T_8)= 28.
