Abstract
A strong edge-coloring of a graph G=(V,E) is a partition of its edge set E into induced matchings. Let G be a connected planar graph with girth k≥26 and maximum degree Δ. We show that either G is isomorphic to a subgraph of a very special Δ-regular graph with girth k, or G has a strong edge-coloring using at most 2Δ+⌈12(Δ−2)k⌉ colors.
