List Edge-coloring - Properties

Properties

Some properties of ch′(G):

  1. ch′(G) < 2 χ′(G).
  2. ch′(Kn,n) = n. This is the Dinitz conjecture, proven by Galvin (1995).
  3. ch′(G) < (1 + o(1))χ′(G), i.e. the list chromatic index and the chromatic index agree asymptotically (Kahn 2000).

Here χ′(G) is the chromatic index of G; and Kn,n, the complete bipartite graph with equal partite sets.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
