A stronger bound for the strong chromatic index

Abstract: We prove chis(G)leq1.93Delta(G)2 for graphs of sufficiently large maximum degree where chis(G) is the strong chromatic index of G. This improves an old bound of Molloy and Reed. As a by-product, we present a Talagrand-type inequality where it is allowed to exclude unlikely bad outcomes that would otherwise render the inequality unusable.
