Abstract

We consider the following conjecture: LetGbe ak-regular simple graph with an even numbernof vertices. Ifk=n/2thenGisk-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.
