On induced saturation for paths
Abstract
For a graph , a graph is -induced-saturated if does not contain an induced copy of , but either removing an edge from or adding a non-edge to creates an induced copy of . Depending on the graph , an -induced-saturated graph does not necessarily exist. In fact, Martin and Smith (2012) showed that -induced-saturated graphs do not exist, where denotes a path on vertices. Axenovich and Csik\'{o}s (2019) asked the existence of -induced-saturated graphs for ; it is easy to construct such graphs when . Recently, R\"{a}ty constructed a graph that is -induced-saturated. In this paper, we show that there exists a -induced-saturated graph for infinitely many values of . To be precise, we find a -induced-saturated graph for every positive integer . As a consequence, for each positive integer , we construct infinitely many -induced-saturated graphs. We also show that the Kneser graph is -induced-saturated for every .
