Abstract
In Chap. 4, we discussed vertex-distinguishing edge colorings of graphs in which each induced vertex color is the set of colors of its incident edges. We saw that this often requires a large number of colors in comparison with sum-defined vertex colorings described earlier. There is also a related irregular edge coloring for which the induced vertex colors are multisets rather than sets, which is necessarily more restrictive.
