Let x'(G), called the strong coloring number of G, denote the minimum number of colors for which there is a proper edge coloring of a graph G in which no two of its vertices is incident to edges colored with the same set of colors. It is shown that Z'~(G) ~< Fcn], Β½ < c ~ 1, whenever A(G) is appropr

β¦ Synopsis
For a graph G(V, E), if a proper k-edge coloring f is satisfied with C(u) # C(V) for UZ) E E(G), where C(u) = {f(~v) 1 UZI E E}, then f is called k-adjacent strong edge coloring of G. is abbreviated k-ASEC, and xbs(G) = min{k 1 k-ASEC of G} is called the adjacent strong edge chromatic number of G. In this paper, we discuss some properties of xhs(G), and obtain the xbs(G) of some special graphs and present a conjecture: if G are graphs whose order of each component is at least six, then xhs(G) 5 A(G) +2, where A(G) is the maximum degree of G.

We define the incidence coloring number of a graph and bound it in terms of the maximum degree. The incidence coloring number turns out to be the strong chromatic index of an associated bipartite graph. We improve a bound for the strong chromatic index of bipartite graphs all of whose cycle lengths

## Abstract Weakening the notion of a strong (induced) matching of graphs, in this paper, we introduce the notion of a semistrong matching. A matching __M__ of a graph __G__ is called semistrong if each edge of __M__ has a vertex, which is of degree one in the induced subgraph __G__[__M__]. We stre
