摘要
We prove that the strong chromatic index of a 2-degenerate graph is linear in the maximum degree . This includes the class of all chordless graphs (graphs in which every cycle is induced) which in turn includes graphs where the cycle lengths are multiples of four, and settles a problem by Faudree et al. (Ars Combin 29(B) (1990), 205211). (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Graph Theory 73: 119126, 2013
