Abstract: Abstract The optimal channel assignment is an important optimization problem with applications in optical networks. This problem was formulated to the L(p, 1)-labeling of graphs by Griggs and Yeh (SIAM J Discrete Math 5:586–595, 1992). A k-L(p, 1)-labeling of a graph G is a function $$f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,2,\ldots ,k\}$$ f : V ( G ) → { 0 , 1 , 2 , … , k } such that $$|f(u)-f(v)|\ge p$$ | f ( u ) - f ( v ) | ≥ p if $$d(u,v)=1$$ d ( u , v ) = 1 and $$|f(u)-f(v)|\ge 1$$ | f ( u ) - f ( v ) | ≥ 1 if $$d(u,v)=2$$ d ( u , v ) = 2 , where d(u, v) is the distance between the two vertices u and v in the graph. Denote $$\lambda _{p,1}^l(G)= \min \{k \mid G$$ λ p , 1 l ( G ) = min { k ∣ G has a list k-L(p, 1)-labeling $$\}$$ } . In this paper we show upper bounds $$\lambda _{1,1}^l(G)\le \Delta +9$$ λ 1 , 1 l ( G ) ≤ Δ + 9 and $$\lambda _{2,1}^l(G)\le \max \{\Delta +15,29\}$$ λ 2 , 1 l ( G ) ≤ max { Δ + 15 , 29 } for planar graphs G without 4- and 6-cycles, where $$\Delta $$ Δ is the maximum vertex degree of G. Our proofs are constructive, which can be turned to a labeling (channel assignment) method to reach the upper bounds.
