Abstract

Motivated by a conjecture of Wang and Lih, we show that every planar graph of girth at least seven and maximum degree @D=190+2@?p/q@? has an L(p,q)-labeling of span at most 2p+q@D-2. Since the optimal span of an L(p,1)-labeling of an infinite @D-regular tree is 2p+@D-2, the obtained bound is the best possible for any p=1 and q=1.
