$P_{n}$-induced-saturated graphs exist for all $n \geq 6$
Abstract
Let be a path graph on vertices. We say that a graph is -induced-saturated if contains no induced copy of , but deleting any edge of as well as adding to any edge of creates such a copy. Martin and Smith (2012) showed that there is no -induced-saturated graph. On the other hand, there trivially exist -induced-saturated graphs for . Axenovich and Csik\'{o}s (2019) ask for which integers do there exist -induced-saturated graphs. R\"{a}ty (2019) constructed such a graph for , and Cho, Choi and Park (2019) later constructed such graphs for all for . We show by a different construction that -induced-saturated graphs exist for all , leaving only the case open.
