  Abstract:
A proper edge coloring of a simple graph G from some lists assigned to the edges of G is of interest. A. Hilton and P. Johnson (1990) considered a necessary condition for the list coloring of a graph and called it Hall's condition. They introduced the Hall index of a graph G, h′(G), as the smallest positive integer m such that there exists a list coloring whenever the lists are of length at least m and Hall's condition is satisfied. They characterized all graphs G with h′(G)=1. In this paper we characterize the graphs with Hall index 2.
