The edge coloring problem is formulated as an integer linear program of covering edges by matchings. For the NP-hard case of 3-regular graphs a linear programming relaxation with additional constraints is considered using column generation. The theory and the algorithm use the fact that the chromatic index is equal to 3 or 4. Computational experiments with randomly generated and some special graphs are presented.
