How to find overfull subgraphs in graphs with large maximum degree
Authors
Abstract
The existence of an overfull subgraph of a simple graph implies chi'=Delta +1, where chi' denotes the chromatic index and Delta the maximum degree. A linear time algorithm for finding the overfull subgraphs of simple graphs with 2*Delta >= |V| is presented. Thereby the chromatic index of many graphs can be determined in linear time.
