Abstract

The 2-distance vertex-distinguishing index \(\chi '_{d2}(G)\) of a graph G is the least number of colors required for a proper edge coloring of G such that any pair of vertices at distance 2 have distinct sets of colors on their incident edges. Let G be a bipartite outerplanar graph of order n with maximum degree \(\varDelta \). We give an algorithm of time complexity \(O(n^3)\) to show that \(\chi '_{d2}(G) \le \varDelta +2\).
