Vizing's theorem states that the chromatic index 0 (G) of a graph G is either the maximum degree (G) or (G) + 1. A graph G is called overfull if jE(G)j > (G)bjV (G)j=2c. A suucient condition for 0 (G) = (G) + 1 is that G contains an overfull subgraph H with (H) = (G). Plantholt proved that this condition is necessary for graphs with a universal vertex. In this paper, we conjecture that, for ind...
