Abstract
An incidence in a graph is a pair where is a vertex of and is an edge of incident to . Two incidences and are adjacent if at least one of the following holds: , , or . An incidence coloring of is a coloring of its incidences assigning distinct colors to adjacent incidences. It was conjectured that at most colors are needed for an incidence coloring of any graph . The conjecture is false in general, but the bound holds for many classes of graphs. We introduce some sufficient properties of the two factor graphs of a Cartesian product graph for which admits an incidence coloring with at most colors.
