Abstract
An L(2, 1)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of nonnegative integers such that |f(x) − f(y)| ≥ 2 if x and y are adjacent and |f(x) − f(y)| ≥ 1 if x and y are at distance two for all x and y in V(G). The span of an L(2,1)-labeling f is the maximum value of f(x) over all vertices x of G. The L(2,1)-labeling number of a graph G, denoted as λ(G), is the least integer k such that G has an L(2,1)-labeling with span k.
Since the decision version of the L(2,1)-labeling problem is NP-complete, it is important to investigate heuristic approaches. In this paper, we first implement some heuristic algorithms and then perform an analysis of the obtained results.
