Abstract

The L(2,1)-labeling of a digraph D is a function l from the vertex set of D to the set of all nonnegative integers such that |l(x)-l(y)|=2 if x and y are at distance 1, and l(x)l(y) if x and y are at distance 2, where the distance from vertex x to vertex y is the length of a shortest dipath from x to y. The minimum over all the L(2,1)-labelings of D of the maximum used label is denoted @l-(D). If C is a class of digraphs, the maximum @l-(D), over all D@?C is denoted @l-(C). In this paper we study the L(2,1)-labeling problem on oriented planar graphs providing some upper bounds on @l-. Then we focus on some specific subclasses of oriented planar graphs, improving the previous general bounds. Namely, for oriented prisms we compute the exact value of @l-, while for oriented Halin graphs and cacti we provide very close upper and lower bounds for @l-.
