Abstract
Let be a multigraph and be a list assignment on the edges of . Suppose additionally, for every vertex , the edges incident to have at least colors in common. We consider a variant of local edge-colorings wherein the color received by an edge must be contained in . The locality appears in the function , i.e., is some function of the local structure of in . Such a notion is a natural generalization of traditional local edge-coloring. Our main results include sufficient conditions on the function to construct such colorings. As corollaries, we obtain local analogs of Vizing and Shannon's theorems, recovering a recent result of Conley, Greb\'ik and Pikhurko.
