摘要
A proper edge coloring of a graph G is acyclic if there is no bichromatic cycle in G. The acyclic chromatic index of G, denoted chi(a)'(G), is the least number of colors k such that G has an acyclic k-edge-coloring. In this paper, it is shown that if G is a planar graph with girth at least 5 and maximum degree Delta, then chi(a)'(G) <= Delta + 1. Moreover, Delta >= 9, then chi(a)'(G) = Delta.
