Abstract : An adjacent vertex-distinguishing edge coloring, or avd-coloring, of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G such that no pair of adjacent vertices meets the same set of colors. Let mad(G) and Δ(G) denote the maximum average degree and the maximum degree of a graph G, respectively. In this paper, we prove that every graph G with Δ(G)≥5 and mad(G)<3−2/Δ can be avd-colored with Δ(G)+1 colors. This completes a result of Wang and Wang (J. Comb. Optim. 19:471-485, 2010).
