Title
Characterizing paths as m-step competition graphs
Abstract
In 2000 Cho, Kim and Nam proved that P\"n, the path on n vertices, is a 2-step competition graph for all n. In 2005, Helleloid proved that P\"n is an (n-1)- and (n-2)-step competition graph for all n and proved further that of all connected triangle-free graphs on n vertices, only the star is an m-step competition graph for m=n. In this paper we show that if m divides n-1 or n-2, then P\"n is an m-step competition graph and that if n=6 and n2@?m@?n-3, then P\"n is not an m-step competition graph.
