Abstract

We obtain a polynomial algorithm in O(nm) time to find a long path in any graph with n vertices and m edges. The length of the path is bounded by a parameter defined on neighborhood condition of any three independent vertices of the path. An example is given to show that this bound is better than several classic results.
