设φ为图G的正常k-边染色。对任意v∈V(G),令f_φ(v)=Σuv∈E(G)φ(uv)。若对每条边uv∈E(G)都有f_φ(u)≠f_φ(v),则称φ为图G的k-邻和可区别边染色。图G存在k-邻和可区别边染色的k的最小值称为G的邻和可区别边色数,记作χ'_Σ(G)。确定了一类稀疏图的邻和可区别边色数,得到:若图G不含孤立边,Δ≥6且mad(G)≤5/2,则χ'_Σ(G)=Δ当且仅当G不含相邻最大度点。
Let φ be a proper k-edge coloring of G. For each vertex v∈V(G),set fφ(v)=Σuv∈E(G)φ(uv) ,φ is called ak-neighbor sum distinguishing edge coloring of G if fφ(u)≠fφ(v)for each edge uv E(G). The smallest k such that G has a k-neighbor sum distinguishing edge coloring is called the neighbor sum distinguishing index, denoted by χ'Σ(G)The neighbor sum distinguishing index of a kind of sparse graphs is determined. It is proved that if G is a graph without isolated edges, △≥ 6 and mad (G)≤5/2,then χ'_Σ(G)=Δif and only if G has no adjacent vertices ofmaximum degree.
