A repetition is a sequence of symbols in which the first half is the\ud same as the second half. An edge-coloring of a graph is repetition-free if\ud there is no path with a color pattern that is a repetition. The minimum\ud number of colors so that a graph has an edge-coloring that is repetition-\ud free is called the Thue edge-chromatic number. In this thesis we investigate\ud the Thue edge-chromatic number of k-ary trees, that is trees in which every\ud vertex has at most k children. Specifically we obtain new upper and lower\ud bounds for the Thue edge-chromatic number of binary trees, and present a\ud new general method for obtaining repetition-free edge-colorings of k-ary trees\ud from what we call k-special sequences. We present exa...
