摘要
The b-chromatic index phi'(G) of a graph G is the largest integer k such that G admits a proper k-edge coloring in which every color class contains at least one edge incident to edges in every other color class. We give in this work bounds for the b-chromatic index of the direct product of graphs and provide general results for many direct products of regular graphs. In addition, we introduce an integer linear programming model for the b-edge coloring problem, which we use for computing exact results for the direct product of some special graph classes.
