摘要
An edge-colouring of a graph is distinguishing if the only auto-morphism that preserves the colouring is the identity. It has been conjectured that all but finitely many connected, finite, regular graphs admit a distinguishing edge-colouring with two colours. We show that all such graphs except K-2 admit a distinguishing edge-colouring with three colours. This result also extends to infinite, locally finite graphs. Furthermore, we are able to show that there are arbitrary large infinite cardinals kappa such that every connected kappa-regular graph has a distinguishing edge-colouring with two colours.
