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 $nge 5$.
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
We present a modification of the DFS graph search algorithm, suited for finding long induced paths. We use it to give simple proofs of the following results. We show that the induced size-Ramsey number of paths satisfies $hat{R}_{mathrm{ind}}(P_n)leq
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ whose vertices have been properly coloured, we say that a path in $G$ is colourful if no two vertices in the path have the same colour. It is a corollary of the Gallai-Roy-Vitaver Theorem that every properly coloured graph con
We show that for $dge d_0(epsilon)$, with high probability, the random graph $G(n,d/n)$ contains an induced path of length $(3/2-epsilon)frac{n}{d}log d$. This improves a result obtained independently by Luczak and Suen in the early 90s, and answers
It is an open problem whether the 3-coloring problem can be solved in polynomial time in the class of graphs that do not contain an induced path on $t$ vertices, for fixed $t$. We propose an algorithm that, given a 3-colorable graph without an induce
