Abstract

The bandwidth minimization problem is of significance in network communication and related areas. Let G be a graph of n vertices. The two-dimensional bandwidth B2(G) of G is the minimum value of the maximum distance between adjacent vertices when G is embedded into an n × n grid in the plane. As a discrete optimization problem, determining B2(G) is NP-hard in general. However, exact results for this parameter can be derived for some special classes of graphs. This paper studies the “square-root rule” of the two-dimensional bandwidth, which is useful in evaluating B2(G) for some typical graphs.
