Abstract

We prove that there is a Steiner triple system such that every simple cubic graph can have its edges colored by points of in such a way that for each vertex the colors of the three incident edges form a triple in . This result complements the result of Holroyd and koviera that every bridgeless cubic graph admits a similar coloring by any Steiner triple system of order greater than 3. The Steiner triple system employed in our proof has order 381 and is probably not the smallest possible.
