Abstract
An edge-colored graph is said to contain a rainbow-F if it contains F as a subgraph and every edge of F is a distinct color. The problem of maximizing the number of edges among n-vertex properly edge-colored graphs not containing a rainbow-F, known as the rainbow Turán problem, was initiated by Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov, and Verstraëte. We investigate a variation of this problem with the additional restriction that the graph is planar and we denote the corresponding extremal number by . In particular, we determine , where denotes the 5-vertex path.
期刊介绍:
Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Among the fields covered by Discrete Mathematics are graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, and discrete probability theory.
Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.
