Abstract

Gavril [F. Gavril, Algorithms for maximum weight induced paths, Information Processing Letters 81 (2002) 203-208] showed that the length of a longest induced path for graphs having no induced cycles on more than k vertices can be computed in O(n^km) time where n and m denote the number of vertices and edges, respectively. In this paper, we present an O(n^k) time algorithm for the same problem.
