Abstract

Let I(G)I(G) be the edge ideal of a simple graph GG over a field k. We prove that reg(I(G)s)=reg(I(G)s),{\rm reg}(\overline {I(G)^s}) = {\rm reg}(I(G)^s), for all s4s \le 4. Furthermore, we provide an example of a graph GG such that regI(G)s=regI(G)s=regI(G)(s)={5+2s if char k=24+2s if char k2,{\rm reg} I(G)^s = {\rm reg} \overline{I(G)^s} = {\rm reg} I(G)^{(s)} = \begin{cases} 5 + 2s & \text{ if char k} = 2 \\ 4 + 2s & \text{ if char k} \neq 2, \end{cases} for all s1.s \ge 1.
