On the L(2, 1)-labelling of block graphs

The distance-two labelling problem of graphs was proposed by Griggs and Roberts in 1988, and it is a variation of the frequency assignment problem introduced by Hale in 1980. An L(2, 1)-labelling of a graph G is an assignment of non-negative integers to the vertices of G such that vertices at distan...
