Abstract

An edge-coloring of a graph G with consecutive integers c1,…,ct is called an interval t-coloring, if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to any vertex of G are distinct and form an interval of integers. A graph G is interval colorable, if it has an interval t-coloring for some positive integer t. In this paper, we consider the case, where there are restrictions on the edges of the tree and provide a polynomial algorithm for checking interval colorability that satisfies those restrictions.
