摘要
In a graph G of maximum degree Delta, let gamma denote the largest fraction of edges that can be Delta edge-coloured. Albertson and Haas showed that when G is cubic. We show here that this result can be extended to graphs with maximum degree 3, with the exception of a graph on 5 vertices. Moreover, there are exactly two graphs with maximum degree 3 (one being obviously the Petersen graph) for which This extends a result given by Steffen. These results are obtained by using structural properties of the so called delta-minimum edge colourings for graphs with maximum degree 3.
