Tutte's Edge-Colouring Conjecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tutte made the conjecture in 1966 that every 2-connected cubic graph not containing the Petersen graph as a minor is 3-edge-colourable. The conjecture is still open, but we show that it is true in general provided it is true for two special kinds of cubic graphs that are almost planar.

Some graph classes satisfying acyclic edge colouring conjecture
We present some classes of graphs which satisfy the acyclic edge colouring conjecture which states that any graph can be acyclically edge coloured with at most ∆ + 2 colours.
متن کاملAcyclic edge-colouring of planar graphs∗
A proper edge-colouring with the property that every cycle contains edges of at least three distinct colours is called an acyclic edge-colouring. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph G, denoted χa(G), is the minimum k such that G admits an acyclic edge-colouring with k colours. We conjecture that if G is planar and ∆(G) is large enough then χa(G) = ∆(G). We settle this conjecture for planar g...

متن کاملEdge-colouring of regular graphs of large degree
We consider the following conjecture: Let G be a k-regular simple graph with an even number n of vertices. If k ≥ n/2 then G is k-edge-colourable. We show that this conjecture is true for graphs that are join of two graphs and we provide a polynomial time algorithm for finding a k-edge-colouring of these graphs. c © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملThe Adaptable Chromatic Number and the Chromatic Number
We prove that the adaptable chromatic number of a graph is at least asymptotic to the square root of the chromatic number. This is best possible. Consider a graph G where each edge of G is assigned a colour from {1, ..., k} (this is not necessarily a proper edge colouring). A k-adapted colouring is an assignment of colours from {1, ..., k} to the vertices of G such that there is no edge with th...
