Let G be a graph. For two vertices u and v in G, we denote d(u,v) the distance between u and v. Let j,k be positive integers with j⩾k. An L(j,k)-labelling for G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,…} such that for any two vertices u and v, |f(u)−f(v)| is at least j if d(u,v)=1; and is at least k if d(u,v)=2. The span of f is the difference between the largest and the smallest numbers in f(V). The λj,k-number for G, denoted by λj,k(G), is the minimum span over all L(j,k)-labellings of G. We introduce a new parameter for a tree T, namely, the maximum ordering-degree, denoted by M(T). Combining this new parameter and the special family of infinite trees introduced by Chang and Lu (2003) [3], we present upper and lower bounds for λj,k(T) in terms of j, k, M(T), and Δ(T) (the maximum degree of T). For a special case when j⩾Δ(T)k, the upper and the lower bounds are k apart. Moreover, we completely determine λj,k(T) for trees T with j⩾M(T)k.
