Abstract

An adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring or an \avd-coloring of a simple graph GG is a proper edge-coloring of GG such that no pair of adjacent vertices meets the same set of colors. We prove that every graph with maximum degree Δ\Delta and with no isolated edges has an \avd-coloring with at most Δ+300\Delta+300 colors, provided that Δ>1020\Delta >10^{20}.
