Abstract
Given an edge-coloring of a simple graph, assign to every vertex a set comprised of the colors used on the edges incident to . The -intersection chromatic index of a graph is the minimum such that the edge set can be properly -colored, additionally requiring that for every two adjacent vertices and , . For all , this value is known for subcubic planar graphs, and furthermore, these values are best possible. We naturally extend this definition to multigraphs with bounded edge multiplicity, and we show that every subcubic planar multigraph with edge multiplicity at most two has 2-intersection chromatic index at most 5, which is sharp.
