Title
A precolouring extension of Vizing's theorem: GIRÃO and KANG
Abstract
Fix a palette K of Delta + 1 colors, a graph with maximum degree., and a subset M of the edge set with minimum distance between edges at least 9. If the edges of M are arbitrarily precoloured from K, then there is guaranteed to be a proper edge-coloring using only colors from K that extends the precolouring on M to the entire graph. This result is a first general precolouring extension form of Vizing's theorem, and it proves a conjecture of Albertson and Moore under a slightly stronger distance requirement. We also show that the condition on the distance can be lowered to 5 when the graph contains no cycle of length 5.
