Gao–Ramadurai–Wanless–Wormald conjecture on rainbow matchings in multigraphs

Let GG be a multigraph, 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. Gao–Ramadurai–Wanless–Wormald conjecture. If Ein+2|E_i|\geq n+2 for every ii, then GG has a full rainbow matching. The conjecture is a multigraph extension of the bipartite rainbow-matching threshold and is presented as open in the source.
