Title
Complete graphs with no rainbow path
Abstract
Motivated by questions in Ramsey theory, we consider colorings of the edges of the complete graph Kn that contain no rainbow path Pt+1 of length t. If fewer than t colors are used then certainly there is no rainbow Pt+1. We show that, if at least t colors are used, then very few colorings are possible if t ≤ 5 and these can be described precisely, whereas the situation for t ≥ 6 is qualitatively different. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
