Abstract:

The strong edge-coloring of a graph G is to assign colors to all edges, so that the derived subgraphs of each color class are a matching. The minimum number of colors required in the strong edge-coloring of a graph G is called the strong chromatic index of the graph G, the degree of edge e=uv is recorded as d(e)=d(u)+d(v), the edge degree of G is recorded as d(G)=min{d(e)|eE(G)}. This paper proves that the strong chromatic index of the graph without K1, 3+ with the maximum degree Δ and edge degree of the graph greater than the number of vertices is at most Δ2-Δ+1.

Key words: strong edge-coloring, strong chromatic index, edge degree
