Bounds and complexity results for strong edge colouring of subcubic graphs
International audienceA strong edge colouring of a graph is a proper edge colouring such that every path of length 3 uses three colours. In this paper, we give some upper bounds for the minimum number of colours in a strong edge colouring of subcubic graphs as a function of the maximum average degree. We also prove the NP-completeness of the strong edge -colouring problem for some restricted classes of subcubic planar graphs when
