Abstract: In 1968, Vizing conjectured for any edge chromatic critical graph G = (V,E) with maximum degree Δ and independence number α(G), α(G)≤|V|/2. In this paper, we proved that α(G) ≤(3Δ-3)/(5Δ-3)|V| for Δ∈{9,10} and α(G) ≤(15Δ-42)/(23Δ-42)|V| for Δ∈{11, · · · , 46}

Key words: edge coloring, critical graphs, independence number
