Graph Saturation
Definitions
Given a forbidden graph H, a graph G is H-saturated if H is not asubgraph of G , but for every e ∈ G , H is a subgraph of G + e.
Definitions
The saturation number sat(n;H) of a forbidden graph H is the smallestnumber of edges over all n-vertex graphs that are H-saturated.
Definitions
Given a forbidden family of graphs F , a graph G is F-saturated if nomember of F is a subgraph of G , but for every e ∈ G , some member of Fis a subgraph of G + e.The saturation number sat(n;F) is the smallest number of edges overall n-vertex graphs that are F-saturated.
