| abstract: | The L(h, k)-labeling is an assignment of non negative integer labels to the nodes of a graph such that 'close' nodes have labels which differ by at least k, and 'very close' nodes have labels which differ by at least h. The span of an L(h,k)-labeling is the difference between the largest and the smallest assigned label. We study L(h, k)-labelings of cellular, squared and hexagonal grids, seeking those with minimum span for each value of k and h ≥ k. The L(h,k)-labeling problem has been intensively studied in some special cases, i.e. when k=0 (vertex coloring), h=k (vertex coloring the square of the graph) and h=2k (radio- or λ-coloring) but no results are known in the general case for regular grids. In this paper, we completely solve the L(h,k)-labeling problem on regular grids, finding exact values of the span for each value of h and k; only in a small interval we provide different upper and lower bounds. |

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
