Abstract

A strong edge colouring of a graph G is a proper edge colouring such that every path of length 3 uses three colours. In this paper, we prove that every subcubic graph with maximum average degree strictly less than 15 7 (resp. 27 11 , 13 5 , 36 13 ) can be strong edge coloured with six (resp. seven, eight, nine) colours.
