Abstract

An additive hereditary property of graphs is a class of simple graphs which is closed under unions, subgraphs and isomorphisms. Let P and Q be hereditary properties of graphs. The generalized edge-chromatic number ρ′Q(P) is defined as the least integer n such that P ⊆ nQ. We investigate the generalized edge-chromatic numbers of the properties →H, ℑkOkW*kSk and Dk.

 Keywords: property of graphs, additive, hereditary, generalized edge-chromatic number.
