Abstract

A graph is k-linked (k-edge-linked), k=1, if for each k pairs of vertices x"1,y"1,...,x"k,y"k, there exist k pairwise vertex-disjoint (respectively edge-disjoint) paths, one per pair x"i and y"i, i=1,2,...,k. Here we deal with the properly edge-colored version of the k-linked (k-edge-linked) problem in edge-colored graphs. In particular, we give conditions on colored degrees and/or number of edges, sufficient for an edge-colored multigraph to be k-linked (k-edge-linked). Some of the results obtained are the best possible. Related conjectures are proposed.
