On induced saturation for paths

چکیده
For a graph H, G is H-induced-saturated if does not contain an induced copy of but either removing arbitrary edge from or adding non-edge to creates H. Depending on the necessarily exist. In fact, (Martin and Smith, 2012) showed that P4-induced-saturated graphs do exist, where Pk denotes path k vertices. Given it easy construct Pk-induced-saturated for k?{2,3}, (Axenovich Csikós, 2019) asked whether such exist k?5. Recently, Räty (2020) constructed P6-induced-saturated. this paper, we show there exists infinitely many values k. To be precise, each positive integer n, P3n-induced-saturated graphs. Furthermore, also Kneser K(n,2) P6-induced-saturated every n?5.

Saturation spectrum of paths and stars
24 A graph G is H-saturated if H is not a subgraph of G but the addition of any edge from G to G 25 results in a copy of H. The minimum size of an H-saturated graph on n vertices is denoted sat(n,H), 26 while the maximum size is the well studied extremal numbers, ex(n,H). The saturation spectrum for 27 a graph H is the set of sizes of H saturated graphs between sat(n,H) and ex(n,H). In this pap...
متن کاملThe edge spectrum of the saturation number for small paths
LetH be a simple graph. A graph G is called anH-saturated graph ifH is not a subgraph of G, but adding any missing edge to Gwill produce a copy of H . Denote by SAT (n,H) the set of all H-saturated graphs G with order n. Then the saturation number sat(n,H) is defined as minG∈SAT (n,H) |E(G)|, and the extremal number ex(n,H) is defined as maxG∈SAT (n,H) |E(G)|. A natural question is that of whet...
متن کاملThe saturation number for the length of degree monotone paths
A degree monotone path in a graph G is a path P such that the sequence of degrees of the vertices in the order in which they appear on P is monotonic. The length (number of vertices) of the longest degree monotone path in G is denoted by mp(G). This parameter, inspired by the well-known ErdősSzekeres theorem, has been studied by the authors in two earlier papers. Here we consider a saturation p...
متن کاملInduced saturation number
In this paper, we discuss the induced saturation number. It is a nice generalization of the saturation number that will allow us to consider induced subgraphs. We define the induced saturation number, indsat(n,H), to be the fewest number of gray edges in a trigraph T such that H does not appear in any realization of T , but if a black or white edge of T is flipped to gray then there exists a re...
متن کاملInduced Matchings and Induced Paths in Graphs
Denote by ∇1(G) the maximum of |E(H)| |V (H)| over all (simple) minors of G obtained by contracting a star forest. We prove that there exists a positive function such that every graph G of order n has (at least) two clones (that is two vertices with the same neighbours) or an induced matching of size at least (∇1(G))n and that this set may be found in linear time. More generally, we prove that ...
