Title
Adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-colorings of planar graphs with girth at least six.
Abstract
An adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring of G such that any pair of adjacent vertices are incident to distinct sets of colors. The minimum number of colors required for an adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring of G is denoted by Χ′ a(G). We prove that Χ′a(G) is at most the maximum degree plus 2 if G is a planar graph without isolated edges whose girth is at least 6. This gives new evidence to a conjecture proposed in [Z. Zhang, L. Liu, and J.Wang, Adjacent strong edge coloring of graphs, Appl. Math. Lett., 15 (2002) 623-626.].
