Abstract

We prove that for all graphs with at most (3.75 − o(1))n edges there exists a 2-coloring of the edges such that every monochromatic path has order less than n. This was previously known to be true for graphs with at most 2.5n − 7.5 edges. We also improve on the best-known lower bounds in the r-color case.
