Abstract

An \(L(2,1)\)-labeling of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is 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 \(L(2,1)\)-labeling number denoted by \(\lambda _{2,1}(G)\) of \(G\) is the minimum range of labels over all such labeling. In this article, it is shown that, for an interval graph \(G\), the upper bound of \(\lambda _{2,1}(G)\) is \(\Delta +\omega \), where \(\Delta \) and \(\omega \) represents the maximum degree of the vertices and size of maximum clique respectively. An \(O(m+n)\) time algorithm is also designed to \(L(2,1)\)-label a connected interval graph, where \(m\) and \(n\) represent the number of edges and vertices respectively. Extending this idea it is shown that \(\lambda _{2,1}(G)\le \Delta +3\omega \) for circular-arc graph.
