摘要
图G的强边染色是在对图G的边进行正常染色的基础上,使得长为3的路上的任意两条边染不同的颜色。对图G进行强边着色所需的最小颜色数,称为图G的强边色数,记为χ's(G)。本文研究了Flower snark及其相关图的强边染色,并得到Flower图的强边色数χ's(F_n)=6(n≥5)。
A proper edge coloring of graph G is called strong edge coloring if any two edges on a path of length three receive distinct colors. And the required minimum number of colors is called the strong chromaic index,note as χ'_s( G). In this paper,while n≥5,we get the strong chromaic index of Flower snark is χ'_s( F_n) = 6.
