For a fixed graph $F$ and an integer $t$, the dfn{rainbow saturation number} of $F$, denoted by $sat_t(n,mathfrak{R}(F))$, is defined as the minimum number of edges in a $t$-edge-colored graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a dfn{rainbow copy} of $F$, i.e., a copy of $F$ all of whose edges receive a different color, but the addition of any missing edge in any color from $[t]$ creates such a rainbow copy. Barrus, Ferrara, Vardenbussche and Wenger prove that $sat_t(n,mathfrak{R}(P_ell))ge n-1$ for $ellge 4$ and $sat_t(n,mathfrak{R}(P_ell))le lceil frac{n}{ell-1} rceil cdot binom{ell-1}{2}$ for $tge binom{ell-1}{2}$, where $P_ell$ is a path with $ell$ edges. In this short note, we improve the upper bounds and show that $sat_t(n,mathfrak{R}(P_ell))le lceil frac{n}{ell} rceil cdot left({{ell-2}choose {2}}+4right)$ for $ellge 5$ and $tge 2ell-5$.

Let $F$ be a fixed graph. The rainbow Turan number of $F$ is defined as the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices that has a proper edge-coloring with no rainbow copy of $F$ (where a rainbow copy of $F$ means a copy of $F$ all of whose edges have different colours). The systematic study of such problems was initiated by Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov and Verstraete. In this paper, we show that the rainbow Turan number of a path with $k+1$ edges is less than $left(frac{9k}{7}+2right) n$, improving an earlier estimate of Johnston, Palmer and Sarkar.
For a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-induced-saturated if $G$ does not contain an induced copy of $H$, but either removing an edge from $G$ or adding a non-edge to $G$ creates an induced copy of $H$. Depending on the graph $H$, an $H$-induced-saturated graph does not necessarily exist. In fact, Martin and Smith (2012) showed that $P_4$-induced-saturated graphs do not exist, where $P_k$ denotes a path on $k$ vertices. Axenovich and Csik{o}s (2019) asked the existence of $P_k$-induced-saturated graphs for $k ge 5$; it is easy to construct such graphs when $kin{2, 3}$. Recently, R{a}ty constructed a graph that is $P_6$-induced-saturated. In this paper, we show that there exists a $P_{k}$-induced-saturated graph for infinitely many values of $k$. To be precise, we find a $P_{3n}$-induced-saturated graph for every positive integer $n$. As a consequence, for each positive integer $n$, we construct infinitely many $P_{3n}$-induced-saturated graphs. We also show that the Kneser graph $K(n,2)$ is $P_6$-induced-saturated for every $nge 5$.
Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ with an edge-coloring $c$, and let $delta^c(G)$ denote the minimum color degree of $G$. A subgraph $F$ of $G$ is called rainbow if all edges of $F$ have pairwise distinct colors. There have been a lot results on rainbow cycles of edge-colored graphs. In this paper, we show that (i) if $delta^c(G)>frac{3n-3}{4}$, then every vertex of $G$ is contained in a rainbow triangle; (ii) $delta^c(G)>frac{3n}{4}$, then every vertex of $G$ is contained in a rainbow $C_4$; and (iii) if $G$ is complete, $ngeq 8k-18$ and $delta^c(G)>frac{n-1}{2}+k$, then $G$ contains a rainbow cycle of length at least $k$. Some gaps in previous publications are also found and corrected.
Given graphs $G$ and $H$ and a positive integer $k$, the emph{Gallai-Ramsey number}, denoted by $gr_{k}(G : H)$ is defined to be the minimum integer $n$ such that every coloring of $K_{n}$ using at most $k$ colors will contain either a rainbow copy of $G$ or a monochromatic copy of $H$. We consider this question in the cases where $G in {P_{4}, P_{5}}$. In the case where $G = P_{4}$, we completely solve the Gallai-Ramsey question by reducing to the $2$-color Ramsey numbers. In the case where $G = P_{5}$, we conjecture that the problem reduces to the $3$-color Ramsey numbers and provide several results in support of this conjecture.
We study the mixed Ramsey number maxR(n,K_m,K_r), defined as the maximum number of colours in an edge-colouring of the complete graph K_n, such that K_n has no monochromatic complete subgraph on m vertices and no rainbow complete subgraph on r vertices. Improving an upper bound of Axenovich and Iverson, we show that maxR(n,K_m,K_4) <= n^{3/2}sqrt{2m} for all m >= 3. Further, we discuss a possible way to improve their lower bound on maxR(n,K_4,K_4) based on incidence graphs of finite projective planes.
