Abstract

Most of the general families of large considered graphs in the context of the so-called (Δ,D) problem—that is, how to obtain graphs with maximum order, given their maximum degree Δ and their diameter D—known up to now for any value of Δ and D, are obtained as product graphs, compound graphs, and generalized compound graphs. It is shown that many of these graph constructions have a minimum chromatic index Δ. Optimal edge coloring of large (Δ,D) graphs is interesting, for instance, for the design of large packet radio networks. Furthermore, a complete table with the best-known edge-colored large graphs is also presented for 2 ≤D ≤ 10. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Networks 34: 61–65, 1999
