Abstract

The point-distinguishing chromatic index of a graph represents the minimum number of colours in its edge colouring such that each vertex is distinguished by the set of colours of edges incident with it. Asymptotic information on jumps of the point-distinguishing chromatic index of Kn,n is found.

Keywords: Point-distinguishing chromatic index, colour set, complete equibipartite graph.

1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C15.
