文摘In this paper, we will study the adjacent strong edge coloring of series-parallel graphs, and prove that series-parallel graphs of △(G) = 3 and 4 satisfy the conjecture of adjacent strong edge coloring using the double inductions and the method of exchanging colors from the aspect of configuration property. For series-parallel graphs of △(G) ≥ 5, △(G) ≤ x'as(G) ≤ △(G) + 1. Moreover, x'as(G) = △(G) + 1 if and only if it has two adjacent vertices of maximum degree, where △(G) and X'as(G) denote the maximum degree and the adjacent strong edge chromatic number of graph G respectively.
