Abstract
The edges of the Cartesian product of graphs G x H are to be colored w ith the condition that all rectangles, i.e., K-2 x K-2 subgraphs, must be colored with four distinct colors. The minimum number of colors in such colorings is determined for all pairs of graphs except when G is 5-chromatic and H is 4- or 5-chromatic. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, I nc.
