We prove the conjecture of Burris and Schelp: a coloring of the edges of a graph of order n such that a vertex is not incident with two edges of the same color and any two vertices are incident with different sets of colors is possible using at most n+1 colors. 1999 Academic Press ## 1. Introducti

An edge-coloring is called vertex-distinguishing if every two distinct vertices are incident to different sets of colored edges. The minimum number of colors required for a vertex-distinguishing proper edge-coloring of a simple graph G is denoted by χ s (G). A simple count shows that χ s (G) ≥ max{(
## Abstract We associate partitions of the edge‐set of a 4‐regular plane graph into 1‐factors or 2‐factors to certain 3‐valued vertex signatures in the spirit of the work by H. Grötzsch [1]. As a corollary we obtain a simple proof of a result of F. Jaeger and H. Shank [2] on the edge‐4‐colorability
## Abstract A proper coloring of the edges of a graph __G__ is called __acyclic__ if there is no 2‐colored cycle in __G__. The __acyclic edge chromatic number__ of __G__, denoted by __a′__(__G__), is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of __G__. For certain graphs __G__, __a′__(_
An edge-coloring of a graph G is equitable if, for each v ∈ 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
## Abstract The notion of (circular) colorings of edge‐weighted 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
