Title
Distinguishing graphs by edge-colourings.
Abstract
We introduce the distinguishing index D′(G) of a graph G as the least number d such that G has an edge-colouring with d colours that is only preserved by the trivial automorphism. This is an analog to the notion of the distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G, which is defined for colourings of vertices. We obtain a general upper bound D′(G)≤Δ(G) unless G is a small cycle C3, C4 or C5.
