Long heterochromatic paths in heterochromatic triangle free graphs

Abstract

In this paper, graphs under consideration are always edge-colored. We consider long heterochromatic paths in heterochromatic triangle free graphs. Two kinds of such graphs are considered, one is complete graphs with Gallai colorings, i.e., heterochromatic triangle free complete graphs; the other is heterochromatic triangle free graphs with kk-good colorings, i.e., minimum color degree at least kk. For the heterochromatic triangle free graphs KnK_n, we obtain that for every vertex vV(Kn)v\in V(K_n), KnK_n has a heterochromatic vv-path of length at least dc(v)d^c(v); whereas for the heterochromatic triangle free graphs GG we show that if, for any vertex vV(G)v\in V(G), dc(v)k6d^c(v)\geq k\geq 6, then GG a heterochromatic path of length at least 3k4\frac{3k}{4}.
