Abstract

For a given finite set T including zero, an L(t, 1)-colouring of a graph G is an assignment of non-negative integers to the vertices of G such that the difference between the colours of adjacent vertices must not belong to the set T and the colours of vertices that are at distance two must be distinct. For a graph G, the L(t, 1)-span of G  is the minimum of the highest colour used to colour the vertices of a graph out of all the possible L(t, 1)-colourings. We study the L(t, 1)-span of cycles with respect to specific sets.
