We prove the chromatic uniqueness of the following infinite families of bipartite graphs: Km,,,+k, l~rt3K,,,,,,,+k, with m~>2 and 0~ 3, where K~,,, denote the graph obtained from K,,,n by deleting one edge. As a particular case we prove a conjecture made by C.Y. Chao in

W e prove that any graph with maximum degree n which can be obtained by removing exactly 2n -1 edges from the join K? -K, ,, is n-critical This generalizes special constructions of critical graphs by S Fiorini and H P Yap, and suggests a possible extension of another general construction due to Yap
We show that the strong chromatic index of a graph with maximum degree 2 is at most (2&=) 2 2 , for some =>0. This answers a question of Erdo s and Nes etr il. 1997 Academic Press ## 1. Introduction A strong edge-colouring of a (simple) graph, G, is a proper edge-colouring of G with the added res
