Let \(\mathcal{K}_i(G)\) denote the maximum number of colors used in an \(\mathrm{M}_i\)-edge coloring of \(G\). In this paper we establish some bounds of \(\mathcal{K}_2(G)\), present some graphs achieving the bounds and determine exact values of \(\mathcal{K}_2(G)\) for dense graphs.", keywords = "edge coloring, dominating set, dense graphs", issn = "1232-9274" }
