A strong edge-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring such that every path of length 3 uses three different colors. The strong chromatic index of a graph G, denoted by χs′(G), is the minimum number of colors needed for a strong edge-coloring of G. In this paper, we show that χs′(G)≤3Δ-2 for any pseudo-Halin graph G with Δ ≥ 4. © 2019, Malaysian Mathematical Sciences S...
