摘要
We prove that for any planar graph G with maximum degree Delta, it holds that the chromatic number of the square of G satisfies chi(G(2)) less than or equal to 2Delta + 25. We generalize this result to integer labelings of planar graphs involving constraints on distances one and two in the graph. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
