On the Point-Distinguishing Chromatic Index of Kn,n

Abstract. Let chi0(G) be the point-distinguishing chromatic index of a graph G. We determine some properties of a point-distinguishing chi0(G)-coloring of Kn,n. In particular, we determine the values of n for which Kn,n has a point-distinguishing chi0(G)-coloring with a vertex whose incident lines are colored with the same color, and in such cases we calculate chi0(Kn,n). In the other cases we determine a characterization of a point-distinguishing chi0(G)-coloring of Kn,n.
