Abstract

Given a graph G = (V, E) and a positive integer d, an L(d,1)-labelling of G is a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, &} suchthat if two vertices x and y are adjacent, then ' f (x) − f(y) ' ≥ d; if they are at distance 2, then ' f (x) − f (y)' ≤ 1. The L(d, 1)-number of G, denoted by λd,1(G), is the smallest number m such that G has an L(d, 1)-labellingwith max{f (x) : x ∈ V (G)} = m. It is known that for diameter2 graphs it holds λ2,1 ≤ Δ2.We will prove Δ2+(d−2)Δ−1 as anupper bound for λd,1 for all diameter 2 graphs oforder ≤ Δ2 − 1 and d ≥ 2. For diameter2 graphs of maximum degree Δ = 2, 3, 7 and orderΔ² + 1 exact values or tight bounds forλd,1 will be presented. After this we provide alower bound for λd,1 for trees. At last an upperbound for λd,1 for cacti will be established. Inparticular, we determine λ1,1 for all cacti andwe will show λd,1 ≤ Δ + 2d − 2 forcacti having large girth or a large maximum degree Δ.
