## Abstract A proper coloring of the edges of a graph __G__ is called __acyclic__ if there is no 2โcolored cycle in __G__. The __acyclic edge chromatic number__ of __G__, denoted by __aโฒ__(__G__), is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of __G__. For certain graphs __G__, __aโฒ__(_

Abstract
The notion of (circular) colorings of edgeโweighted graphs is introduced. This notion generalizes the notion of (circular) colorings of graphs, the channel assignment problem, and several other optimization problems. For instance, its restriction to colorings of weighted complete graphs corresponds to the traveling salesman problem (metric case). It also gives rise to a new definition of the chromatic number of directed graphs. Several basic results about the circular chromatic number of edgeโweighted graphs are derived. ยฉ 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 43: 107โ116, 2003

An edge-coloring of a graph G is equitable if, for each v โ V (G), the number of edges colored with any one color incident with v differs from the number of edges colored with any other color incident with v by at most one. A new sufficient condition for equitable edge-colorings of simple graphs is
An edge-coloring of a simple graph \(G\) with colors \(1,2, \ldots, t\) is called an interval \(t\)-coloring [3] if at least one edge of \(G\) is colored by color \(i, i=1, \ldots, t\) and the edges incident with each vertex \(x\) are colored by \(d_{G}(x)\) consecutive colors, where \(d_{G}(x)\) is
## Abstract A (1,2)โeulerian weight __w__ of a grph is hamiltonian if every faithful cover of __w__ is a set of two Hamilton circuits. Let __G__ be a 3โconnected cubic graph containing no subdivition of the Petersen graph. We prove that if __G__ admits a hamiltonian weight then __G__ is uniquely 3โ
## Abstract We investigate the conjecture that a graph is perfect if it admits a twoโedgeโcoloring such that two edges receive different colors if they are the nonincident edges of a __P__~4~ (chordless path with four vertices). Partial results on this conjecture are given in this paper. ยฉ 1995 Joh
