A note on transformations of edge colorings of chordless graphs and triangle-free graphs

Abstract

Bonamy et al. (2023) proved that an optimal edge coloring of a simple triangle--free graph GG can be reached from any given proper edge coloring of GG 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 GG is chordless if in every cycle CC of GG any two nonconsecutive vertices of CC are not adjacent).
