Rainbow Cliques in Edge-Colored Graphs

Combinatorics 2024-07-12 v1

Abstract

Let G=(V,E)G = (V,E) be an nn-vertex graph and let c:ENc: E \to \mathbb{N} be a coloring of its edges. Let dc(v)d^c(v) be the number of distinct colors on the edges at vVv \in V and let δc(G)=minvV{dc(v)}\delta^c(G) = \min_{v \in V} \{ d^{c}(v) \}. H. Li proved that δc(G)>n/2\delta^c(G) > n/2 guarantees a rainbow triangle in GG. We give extensions of Li's result to cliques KrK_r for r4r \ge 4.
