Balogh et al.'s linear path-separating-system conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let GG be a graph on nn vertices. A path separating system of GG is a collection of paths in GG such that, for every ordered pair of distinct edges (e,f)(e,f), some path contains ee but not ff. Balogh et al.'s conjecture. Every graph of order nn admits a path separating system of size O⁡(n)\operatorname{O}(n). This strengthened conjecture was confirmed in 2023, when a separating path system of size at most 19n19n was proved for every graph on nn vertices.
