Abstract

Graph labellings form an important graph theory model for the channel assignment problem. An optimum labelling usually depends on one or more parameters that ensure minimum separations between frequencies assigned to nearby transmitters. The study of spans and of the structure of optimum labellings as functions of such parameters has attracted substantial attention from researchers, leading to the introduction of real number graph labellings and @l-graphs. We survey recent results obtained in this area.
