Abstract : A mapping from the vertex set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ into an interval of integers $\{0, \dots ,k\}$ is an $L(2,1)$-labelling of $G$ of span $k$ if any two adjacent vertices are mapped onto integers that are at least 2 apart, and every two vertices with a common neighbour are mapped onto distinct integers. It is known that for any fixed $k\ge 4$, deciding the existence of such a labelling is an NP-complete problem while it is polynomial for $k\leq 3$. For even $k\geq 8$, it remains NP-complete when restricted to planar graphs. In this paper, we show that it remains NP-complete for any $k \ge 4$ by reduction from Planar Cubic Two-Colourable Perfect Matching. Schaefer stated without proof that Planar Cubic Two-Colourable Perfect Matching is NP-complete. In this paper we give a proof of this.
