Abstract
We seek the maximum number of colors in an edge‐coloring of the complete graph not having t edge‐disjoint rainbow spanning subgraphs of specified types. Let , and  denote the answers when the spanning subgraphs are cycles, matchings, or trees, respectively. We prove  for  and  for . We prove  for  and  for . We also provide constructions for the more general problem in which colorings are restricted so that colors do not appear on more than q edges at a vertex.
