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 $hat{R}_{mathrm{ind}}(P_n)leq 5cdot 10^7n$, thus giving an explicit constant in the linear bound, improving the previous bound with a large constant from a regularity lemma argument by Haxell, Kohayakawa and {L}uczak. We also provide a bound for the $k$-color version, showing that $hat{R}_{mathrm{ind}}^k(P_n)=O(k^3log^4k)n$. Finally, we present a new short proof of the fact that the binomial random graph in the supercritical regime, $G(n,frac{1+varepsilon}{n})$, contains typically an induced path of length $Theta(varepsilon^2) n$.

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 d path on $t$ vertices, computes a coloring with $max{5,2lceil{frac{t-1}{2}}rceil-2}$ many colors. If the input graph is triangle-free, we only need $max{4,lceil{frac{t-1}{2}}rceil+1}$ many colors. The running time of our algorithm is $O((3^{t-2}+t^2)m+n)$ if the input graph has $n$ vertices and $m$ edges.
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-saturate d 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 $nge 5$.
We generalize a result of Balister, Gy{H{o}}ri, Lehel and Schelp for hypergraphs. We determine the unique extremal structure of an $n$-vertex, $r$-uniform, connected, hypergraph with the maximum number of hyperedges, without a $k$-Berge-path, where $n geq N_{k,r}$, $kgeq 2r+13>17$.
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 tains a colourful path on $chi(G)$ vertices. We explore a conjecture that states that every properly coloured triangle-free graph $G$ contains an induced colourful path on $chi(G)$ vertices and prove its correctness when the girth of $G$ is at least $chi(G)$. Recent work on this conjecture by Gyarfas and Sarkozy, and Scott and Seymour has shown the existence of a function $f$ such that if $chi(G)geq f(k)$, then an induced colourful path on $k$ vertices is guaranteed to exist in any properly coloured triangle-free graph $G$.
The age $mathcal{A}(G)$ of a graph $G$ (undirected and without loops) is the collection of finite induced subgraphs of $G$, considered up to isomorphy and ordered by embeddability. It is well-quasi-ordered (wqo) for this order if it contains no infin ite antichain. A graph is emph{path-minimal} if it contains finite induced paths of unbounded length and every induced subgraph $G$ with this property embeds $G$. We construct $2^{aleph_0}$ path-minimal graphs whose ages are pairwise incomparable with set inclusion and which are wqo. Our construction is based on uniformly recurrent sequences and lexicographical sums of labelled graphs
