Utilizing a modified shift inequality, Inagaki and Tamura have recently proven that the Kang and Park conjecture holds for level $3$ in all but finitely many cases.

The $k$th squarefree power $I^{[k]}$ of $I$ is the monomial ideal of $S$ generated by all squarefree monomials belonging to $I^k$. The biggest integer $k$ such that $I^{[k]}ne(0)$ is called the monomial grade of $I$ and it is denoted by $nu(I)$. Let $d_k$ be the minimum degree of the monomials belonging to $I^{[k]}$. Then, $text{depth}(S/I^{[k]})ge d_k-1$ for all $1le klenu(I)$. The normalized depth function of $I$ is defined as $g_{I}(k)=text{depth}(S/I^{[k]})-(d_k-1)$, $1le klenu(I)$. It is expected that $g_I(k)$ is a non-increasing function for any $I$. In this article we study the behaviour of $g_{I}(k)$ under various operations on monomial ideals. Our main result characterizes all cochordal graphs $G$ such that for the edge ideal $I(G)$ of $G$ we have $g_{I(G)}(1)=0$. They are precisely all cochordal graphs $G$ whose complementary graph $G^c$ is connected and has a cut vertex. As a far-reaching application, for given integers $1le s<m$ we construct a graph $G$ such that $nu(I(G))=m$ and $g_{I(G)}(k)=0$ if and only if $k=s+1,dots,m$.
