Summary:
A proper edge coloring of a graph $G$ is strict neighbor-distinguishing if for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$, the set of colors used on the edges incident to $u$ and the set of colors used on the edges incident to $v$ are not included with each other. The strict neighbor-distinguishing index of $G$ is the minimum number $\chi '_{\rm snd}(G)$ of colors in a strict neighbor-distinguishing edge coloring of $G$. It was conjectured that every simple graph $G$ without leaves has $\chi '_{\rm snd}(G)\le 2\Delta $ except a special graph $H_{\Delta }$. We show that if $G$ is a planar graph without 4-cycles, then $\chi '_{\rm snd}(G)\le \Delta +300$.
