(2023) proved that an optimal edge coloring of a simple triangle--free graph $G$ can be reached from any given proper edge coloring of $G$ through a series of Kempe changes. We show that a small modification of their proof gives a possibility to obtain a similar result for a larger class of simple graphs consisting of all triangle-free and all chordless graphs (a graph $G$ is chordless if in every cycle $C$ of $G$ any two nonconsecutive vertices of $C$ are not adjacent).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-29T09:29:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C15", "G.2.2" ], "keywords": [ "edge coloring", "chordless graphs", "transformations", "simple triangle-free graph", "proper edge" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
