abstract

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring such that any two edges on a path of length three receive distinct colors. We denote the strong chromatic index by $\chi_{s}'(G)$ which is the minimum number of colors that allow a strong edge-coloring of $G$. Erd\H{o}s and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il conjectured in 1985 that the upper bound of $\chi_{s}'(G)$ is $\frac{5}{4}\Delta^{2}$ when $\Delta$ is even and $\frac{1}{4}(5\Delta^{2}-2\Delta +1)$ when $\Delta$ is odd, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of $G$. The conjecture is proved right when $\Delta\leq3$. The best known upper bound for $\Delta=4$ is 22 due to Cranston previously. In this paper we extend the result of Cranston to list strong edge-coloring, that is to say, we prove that when $\Delta=4$ the upper bound of list strong chromatic index is 22.
