In a properly edge colored graph, a subgraph using every color at most once is called rainbow. In this thesis, we study rainbow cycles and paths in proper edge colorings of complete graphs, and we prove that in every proper edge coloring of K_n, there is a rainbow path on (3/4-o(1))n vertices, improving on the previously best bound of (2n+1)/3 from Gyarfas and Mhalla. Similarly, a k-rainbow path in a proper edge coloring of K_n is a path using no color more than k times. We prove that in every proper edge coloring of K_n, there is a k-rainbow path on (1-2/(k+1)!)n vertices.

  1. A proof of Andersen's rainbow path conjecture for large $n$

    math.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For all sufficiently large n, every properly edge-coloured n-vertex complete graph has a rainbow path on n-1 vertices, resolving Andersen's conjecture and its Latin-square analogue for large n.
