Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) An $L(2,1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$
from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of nonnegative integers
such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ and $y$ are adjacent
and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 1$ if $x$ and $y$ are at distance 2
for all $x$ and $y$ in $V(G)$.
A $k$-$L(2,1)$-labeling is an assignment $f:V(G)\rightarrow\{0,\ldots ,k\}$,
and the $L(2,1)$-labeling problem asks the minimum $k$,
which we denote by $\lambda(G)$, among all possible assignments.
It is known that this problem is NP-hard even for
graphs of treewidth 2.
Tree is one of a few classes for which the
problem is polynomially solvable, but still
only an $\mbox{O}(\Delta^{4.5} n)$ time algorithm for a tree $T$ has
been known so far, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of $T$ and
$n=|V(T)|$.
In this paper, we first show that an existent necessary condition
for $\lambda(T)=\Delta+1$ is also sufficient
for a tree $T$ with $\Delta=\Omega(\sqrt{n})$,
which leads a linear time algorithm
for computing $\lambda(T)$ under this condition.
We then show that $\lambda(T)$ can be computed in
$\mbox{O}(\Delta^{1.5}n)$ time for any tree $T$.
Combining these, we finally obtain an
$\mO(n^{1.75})$ time algorithm, which greatly improves
the currently best known result.
