## Abstract An __acyclic__ edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The __acyclic chromatic index__ of a graph is the minimum number __k__ such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using __k__ colors and is denoted by __a__β²(__G__). It was conj

## Abstract In 1968, Vizing [Uaspekhi Mat Nauk 23 (1968) 117β134; Russian Math Surveys 23 (1968), 125β142] conjectured that for any edge chromatic critical graph ${{G}} = ({{V}}, {{E}})$ with maximum degree $\Delta$, $|{{E}}| \geq {{{1}}\over {{2}}}\{(\Delta {{- 1}})|{{V}}| + {{3}}\}$. This conject
An edge-face coloring of a plane graph with edge set E and face set F is a coloring of the elements of E βͺF so that adjacent or incident elements receive different colors. Borodin [Discrete Math 128(1-3): [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] 1994] proved that every plane graph of max
We present a linear time algorithm to properly color the edges of any graph of maximum degree 3 using 4 colors. Our algorithm uses a greedy approach and utilizes a new structure theorem for such graphs.
In this paper, we prove that any edge-coloring critical graph G with maximum degree ΒΏ (11 + β 49 -24 )=2, where 6 1, has the size at least 3(|V (G)| -) + 1 if 6 7 or if ΒΏ 8 and |V (G)| ΒΏ 2 --4 -( + 6)=( -6), where is the minimum degree of G. It generalizes a result of Sanders and Zhao.
