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.

International audience For planar graphs, we consider the problems of <i>list edge coloring</i> and <i>list total coloring</i>. Edge coloring is the problem of coloring the edges while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent receive different colors. Total coloring is the problem of coloring the edges and the vertices while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent, two vertices that are adjacent, or a vertex and an edge that are incident receive different colors. In their list extensions, instead of having the same set of colors for the whole graph, every vertex or edge is assigned some set of colors and has to be colored from it. A graph is minimally edge or total choosable if it is list $\Delta$-edge-colorable or list $(\Delta +1)$-total-colorable, respectively, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree in the graph. It is already known that planar graphs with $\Delta \geq 8$ and no triangle adjacent to a $C_4$ are minimally edge and total choosable (Li Xu 2011), and that planar graphs with $\Delta \geq 7$ and no triangle sharing a vertex with a $C_4$ or no triangle adjacent to a $C_k (\forall 3 \leq k \leq 6)$ are minimally total colorable (Wang Wu 2011). We strengthen here these results and prove that planar graphs with $\Delta \geq 7$ and no triangle adjacent to a $C_4$ are minimally edge and total choosable.
