A graph G with maximum degree and edge chromatic number (G)> is edge--critical if (G -e) = for every edge e of G. It is proved here that the vertex independence number of an edge--critical graph of order n is less than 3 5 n. For large , this improves on the best bound previously known, which was ro
For any simple graph G, Vizing's Theorem [5] implies that A (G)~)((G)<~ A(G)+ 1, where A (G) is the maximum degree of a vertex in G and x(G) is the edge chromatic number. It is of course possible to add edges to G without changing its edge chromatic number. Any graph G is a spanning subgraph of an e
## Abstract A proper edge coloring of a graph __G__ is called acyclic if there is no 2βcolored cycle in __G__. The acyclic edge chromatic number of __G__, denoted by Ο(__G__), is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of __G__. In this paper, we determine completely the acyclic edge
The harmonious chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by h(G), is the least number of colon which can be assigned to the vertices of G such that adjacent vertices are colored differently and any two distinct edges have different color pairs. This is a slight variation of a definition given independe
