Abstract

Given a graph G and an edge-coloring C of G, a heterochromatic cycle of G is a cycle in which any pair of edges have distinct colors. Let d^c(v), named the color degree of a vertex v, be defined as the maximum number of edges incident with v that have distinct colors. In this paper, some color degree conditions for the existence of heterochromatic cycles are obtained.
