The weighted-edge-coloring problem of an edge-weighted graph whose weights are between 0 and 1, consists in finding a coloring using as few colors as possible and satisfying the following constraints: the sum of weights of edges with the same color and incident to the same vertex must be at most 1. In 1991, Chung and Ross conjectured that if G is bipartite, then [Formula: see text] colors are always sufficient to weighted-edge-color (G,w), where [Formula: see text] is the maximum of the sums of the weights of the edges incident to a vertex. We prove this is true for edge-weighted graphs with multiple edges whose underlying graph is a tree. We further generalise this conjecture to non-bipartite graphs and prove the generalised conjecture for simple edge-weighted outerplanar graphs. Finally, we introduce a list version of this coloring together with the list-bin-packing problem, which allows us to obtain new results concerning the original coloring for a specific class of graphs, namely the k-weight-degenerate weighted graph.

In this paper we study the problem of coloring the edges of a graph for any k-list assignment such that there is no maximal monochromatic biclique, in other words, the k-biclique edge-choosability problem. We prove that the K3free graphs that are not odd cycles are 2-star edge-choosable, chordal bipartite graphs are 2-biclique edge-choosable and we present a lower bound for the biclique choice index of power of cycles and power of paths. We also provide polynomial algorithms to compute a 2-biclique (star) edge-coloring for K3-free and chordal bipartite graphs for any given 2-list assignment to edges.

Proper Edge Coloring

A proper edge coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,3,\dots$ is called an interval coloring if the colors on the edges incident with any vertex are consecutive. A bipartite graph is $(3,4)$-biregular if all vertices in one part have degree $3$ and all vertices in the other part have degree $4$. Recently it was proved [J. Graph Theory 61 (2009), 88-97] that if such a graph $G$ has a spanning subgraph whose components are paths with endpoints at 3-valent vertices and lengths in $\{2, 4, 6, 8\}$, then $G$ has an interval coloring. It was also conjectured that every simple $(3,4)$-biregular bipartite graph has such a subgraph. We provide some evidence for this conjecture by proving that a simple $(3,4)$-biregular bipartite graph has a spanning subgraph whose components are nontrivial paths with endpoints at $3$-valent vertices and lengths not exceeding $22$.

A μ-simultaneous edge coloring of graph G is a set of μ proper edge colorings of G with a same color set such that for each vertex, the sets of colors appearing on the edges incident to that vertex are the same in each coloring and no edge receives the same color in any two colorings. The μ-simultaneous edge coloring of bipartite graphs has a close relation with μ-way Latin trades. Mahdian et al. (2000) conjectured that every bridgeless bipartite graph is 2-simultaneous edge colorable. Luo et al. (2004) showed that every bipartite graphic sequence S with all its elements greater than one, has a realization that admits a 2-simultaneous edge coloring. In this paper, the μ-simultaneous edge coloring of graphs is studied. Moreover, the properties of the extremal counterexample to the above conjecture are investigated. Also, a relation between 2-simultaneous edge coloring of a graph and a cycle double cover with certain properties is shown and using this relation, some results about 2-simultaneous edge colorable graphs are obtained.
