Radio-\(k\)-labeling of cycles for large \(k\) (Q2143046)

This paper investigates the radio-\(k\)-number \(rn_k(C_n)\) of cycles and determines the values of \(rn_k(C_n)\) for \(k \ge n-3\) and for \(k < n-3\) with \(n \equiv k \pmod 2\). In the case of \(k < n-3\) and \(k \not\equiv n \pmod 2\), the study establishes lower and upper bounds for \(rn_k(C_n)\) and shows that these bounds are sharp for some values of \(k\) and \(n\).
