Motivated by emerging applications for DNA code word design, we consider a generalization of the code word design problem in which an input graph is given which must be labeled with equal length binary strings of minimal length such that the Hamming distance is small between words of adjacent nodes and large between words of non-adjacent nodes. For general graphs we provide algorithms that bound the word length with respect to either the maximum degree of any vertex or the number of edges in either the input graph or its complement. We further provide multiple types of recursive, deterministic algorithms for trees and forests, and provide an improvement for forests that makes use of randomization. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg.
