On the Strong Chromatic Index of Sparse Graphs

Abstract: The strong chromatic index of a graph G, denoted χ ′ s (G), is the least number of colors needed to edge-color G so that edges at distance at most two receive distinct colors. The strong list chromatic index, denoted χ ′ ℓ,s (G), is the least integer k such that if arbitrary lists of size k are assigned to each edge then G can be edge-colored from those lists where edges at distance at most two receive distinct colors. We use the discharging method, the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, and computation to show th… Show more

“…Our computational experiments show that all cubic graphs of girth at least 5 on at most 26 vertices and all bridgeless subcubic graphs of girth at least 5 on at most 18 vertices admit a strong 7-edge-coloring. We therefore propose the following conjecture, which strengthens Case (5) of Conjecture 1.2. Conjecture 5.2.…”

“…Case (4) $(4)$ was established by Wu and Lin [19]; it easily follows also from a result of Maydanskiy [16]. Up to our best knowledge, Cases (5) $(5)$ and (6) $(6)$ are still open, although several partial results confirming Case (6) $(6)$ are known [4,5].…”
