Delcourt–Postle conjecture on full rainbow matchings in multigraphs

Let GG be a multigraph with maximum degree Δ\Delta, and let E1,,EnE_1,\ldots,E_n be color classes of a proper edge-coloring of GG. A full rainbow matching is a matching containing exactly one edge from each color class. Delcourt–Postle conjecture. If EiΔ+2|E_i|\geq \Delta+2 for every ii, then GG has a full rainbow matching. The source later states that both this conjecture and the preceding bipartite conjecture are false, even when the chromatic index equals the maximum degree; consequently this conjecture is refuted.
