Faudree–Gyárfás–Schelp–Tuza strong clique index conjecture
Faudree–Gyárfás–Schelp–Tuza strong clique index conjecture
For a finite simple graph , let denote its line graph, let denote the graph in which two vertices are adjacent exactly when they are at distance at most two in , let denote clique number, and let denote the maximum degree of . Faudree–Gyárfás–Schelp–Tuza conjecture. For any graph ,
This is a weaker counterpart to the Erdős–Nešetřil conjecture for the strong chromatic index. It is tight for blow-ups of and remains open; the best-known general upper bound stated in the paper is .
