Abstract

A disk graph is the intersection graph of a set of disks in the plane. We consider the problem of assigning labels to vertices of a disk graph satisfying a sequence of distance constrains. Our objective is to minimize the distance between the smallest and the largest labels. We propose an on-line labeling algorithm on disk graphs, if the maximum and minimum diameters are bounded. We give the upper and lower bounds on its competitive ratio, and show that the algorithm is asymptotically optimal. In more detail we explore the case of distance constraints (2; 1), and present two off-line approximation algorithms. The last one we call robust, i.e. it does not require the disks representation and either outputs a feasible labeling, or answers the input is not a unit disk graph.
