The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture for Paths and Antipaths

Combinatorics 2015-06-25 v3 Discrete Mathematics

Abstract

We prove that for every k, there exists ck>0c_k>0 such that every graph G on n vertices not inducing a path PkP_k and its complement contains a clique or a stable set of size nckn^{c_k}.
