图的强边染色与Kneser图的覆盖

Strong edge colorings of graphs and the covers of Kneser graphs

Borut Lužar, Edita Mačajová, Martin Škoviera, Roman Soták

摘要:

一个图的正常边染色是强的,如果它不产生长度为3的双色路。众所周知,对于$k$ -正则图的强边染色,至少需要$2k-1$色.证明了$k$ -正则图允许$2k-1$色的强边染色当且仅当它覆盖Kneser图$K(2k-1,k-1)$ .特别地,当一个三次图覆盖Petersen图时,它是强$5$ -边可着色的。这个结果的一个意义是Faudree等人[Ars Combin. 29 B(1990),205- 211]是假的。

英文摘要:

A proper edge coloring of a graph is strong if it creates no bichromatic path of length three. It is well known that for a strong edge coloring of a $k$-regular graph at least $2k-1$ colors are needed. We show that a $k$-regular graph admits a strong edge coloring with $2k-1$ colors if and only if it covers the Kneser graph $K(2k-1,k-1)$. In particular, a cubic graph is strongly $5$-edge-colorable whenever it covers the Petersen graph. One of the implications of this result is that a conjecture about strong edge colorings of subcubic graphs proposed by Faudree et al. [Ars Combin. 29 B (1990), 205--211] is false.
