Abstract

Let In,m:=(x1x2xm,  x2x3xm+1,  ,  xnm+1xn)I_{n,m}:=(x_1x_2\cdots x_m,\; x_2x_3\cdots x_{m+1},\; \ldots,\; x_{n-m+1}\cdots x_n) be the mm-path ideal of the path graph of length nn, in the ring S=K[x1,,xn]S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]. We prove that: depth(S/In,mt)={nt+2nt+2m+1nt+2m+1,tn+1mm1,t>n+1m, for all t1.\mathtt{depth}(S/I_{n,m}^t)=\begin{cases} n-t+2 - \left\lfloor \frac{n-t+2}{m+1} \right\rfloor - \left\lceil \frac{n-t+2}{m+1} \right\rceil, & t \leq n+1-m \\ m-1,& t > n+1-m \end{cases},\text{ for all }t\geq 1. Also, we prove that depth(S/In,m)sdepth(S/In,mt)depth(S/In,mt)\mathtt{depth}(S/I_{n,m}) \geq \mathtt{sdepth}(S/I_{n,m}^t) \geq \mathtt{depth}(S/I_{n,m}^t) and sdepth(In,mt)depth(In,mt)\mathtt{sdepth}(I_{n,m}^t)\geq \mathtt{depth}(I_{n,m}^t), for all t1t\geq 1.
