An upper bound for the regularity of powers of edge ideals

‎A recent result due to Ha and Van Tuyl proved that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the quotient ring $R/I(G)$ is at most matching number of $G$‎, ‎denoted by match$(G)$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we provide a generalization of this result for powers of edge ideals‎. ‎More precisely‎, ‎we show that for every graph $G$ and every $sgeq 1$‎, ‎$${rm reg}( R‎/ ‎I(G)^{s})leq (2s-1) |E(G)|^{s-1} {rm match}(G).$$‎
