Let \_(n, m, k) be the largest number \_ # [0, 1] such that any graph on n vertices with independence number at most m has a subgraph on k vertices with at lest \_ } ( k 2 ) edges. Up to a constant multiplicative factor, we determine \_(n, m, k) for all n, m, k. For log n m=k n, our result gives \_(
## Abstract The path number of a graph __G__, denoted __p(G)__, is the minimum number of edgeβdisjoint paths covering the edges of __G.__ LovΓ‘sz has proved that if __G__ has __u__ odd vertices and __g__ even vertices, then __p(G)__ β€ 1/2 __u__ + __g__ β 1 β€ __n__ β 1, where __n__ is the total numbe
