We consider the following conjecture: Let G be a k-regular simple graph with an even number n of vertices. If k >= n/2 then G is k-edge-colourable. We show that this conjecture is true for graphs that are join of two graphs and we provide a polynomial time algorithm for finding a k-edge-colouring of these graphs.

Abstract

We consider the following conjecture: Let G be a k-regular simple graph with an even number n of vertices. If k >= n/2 then G is k-edge-colourable. We show that this conjecture is true for graphs that are join of two graphs and we provide a polynomial time algorithm for finding a k-edge-colouring of these graphs.
