We improve an upper bound for the chromatic index of a multigraph due to Andersen and Gol'dberg. As a corollary w e deduce that if no t w o edges of multiplicity at least t w o in G are adjacent, then ,y'(G) s A ( G ) + 1. In addition w e generalize results concerning the structure of critical graph
We show that coloring the edges of a multigraph G in a particular order often leads to improved upper bounds for the chromatic index χ (G). Applying this to simple graphs, we significantly generalize recent conditions based on the core of G (i.e., the subgraph of G induced by the vertices of degree
The result announced in the title is proved. A new proof of the total 6-colorability of any multigraph with maximum degree 4 is also given.
Vizing's Theorem, any graph G has chromatic index equal either to its maximum degree A(G) or A(G) + 1. A simple method is given for determining exactly the chromatic index of any graph with 2s + 2 vertices and maximum degree 2s.
