Prove Vizing Class 1 if maximum degree vertices induce forest by induction

I tried to prove that if for a simple graph $G$, vertices of maximum degree induce a forest, then $chi'(G) leq Delta(G)$, in other words, the graph is in Vizing Class 1.



When I applied induction on $|E(G)|$, I encountered the problem, that if there is only one vertex $v in V(G)$ having maximum degree, I cannot ensure that I can apply the induction hypothesis on $Gsetminus e$ for an edge $e$ incident with $v$.



If I remove $e$, there might be vertices of degree $Delta(G) - 1$ inducing a cycle.



How can I solve this problem? Is there a way to fix this proof?

  • i tried to do the same, but i think there is a problem there. I can't apply the induction hypothesis, because $v$ might be the only vertex having maximum degree

  • the proof still applies. In the case of only one vertex, just remove any edge incident with it.
