Abstract
We study the complexity of a group of distance-constrained graph labeling problems when parameterized by the neighborhood diversity, which is a natural graph parameter between vertex cover and clique width. Neighborhood diversity has been used to generalize and speed up FPT algorithms previously parameterized by vertex cover.
We show that the Uniform Channel Assignment problem is fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by neighborhood diversity and the largest weight. As a consequence, every L(p1,p2,...,pk)-labeling} problem is FPT when parameterized by neighborhood diversity, maximum pi and k.
