报告内容简介:

Let G be a simple graph. Denote by、Delta(G), delta(G), and k’(G) the maximum degree,
minimum degree and the chromatic index of G.  A graph G is edge-Delta-critical if k’(G) =
Delta + 1 and k’(H)<=Delta for any proper subgraph of H of G.  Let d(G) denote the average
degree of G.  Vizing in 1968 conjectured that the d(G)>=Delta-1 +3/n  if G is an edge-Delta-critical graph of order n. We show that if G is an edge-Delta-critical graph with Delta >= 16, then  d(G)>=3Delta/4-8. Moreover, we show that there exist two functions D and d such that for any positive real number t in (0; 1), if G is an edge-Delta-critical graph with  Delta>=Delta(t) and delta(G)>= d(t), then d(G)>= (1-t)Delta. We will give two
specific functions satisfying  the  statement above. By using this theorem, we also show that an edge-Delta-critical graph G has d(G)>=Delta-o(Delta ) if delta(G)>= (log Delta )^{3/4}..
