Given any fixed non-negative integer values h and k, the L(h, k)-labelling problem consists in an assignment of non-negative integers to the nodes of a graph such that adjacent nodes receive values which differ by at least h, and nodes connected by a 2 length path receive values which differ by at least k. The span of an L(h, k)-labelling is the difference between the largest and the smallest assigned frequency. The goal of the problem is to find out an L(h, k)-labelling with minimum span. The…

It is shown that for every fixed value k ≥ 4 it is NP-complete to determine whether λ(G) ≤ k, and several hardness results for L(G; p, q) are shown, including that for any p > q ≥ 1 there is a λ = λ (p,q) such that deciding if L(P; p; p) ≤ κ(p,Q) isNP-complete.
