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
)| ≥ 2 if
x
is a vertex and
y
is an edge incident to
x
, and |
f
(
x
) −
f
(
y
)| ≥ 1 if
x
and
y
are a pair of adjacent vertices or a pair of adjacent edges, for all
x
and
y
in
V
(
G
) ∪
E
(
G
). The (2,1)-total labeling number
$\lambda^T_2(G)$
of
G
is defined as the minimum
k
among all possible assignments. In [D. Chen and W. Wang. (2,1)-Total labelling of outerplanar graphs. Discr. Appl. Math. 155 (2007)], it was conjectured that all outerplanar graphs
G
satisfy
$\lambda^T_2(G) \leq \Delta(G)+2$
, where Δ(
G
) is the maximum degree of
G
, while they also showed that it is true for
G
with Δ(
G
) ≥ 5. In this paper, we solve their conjecture completely, by proving that
$\lambda^T_2(G) \leq \Delta(G)+2$
even in the case of Δ(
G
) ≤ 4 .
