This gives an upper bound for the Hadwiger number which is obtainable for all path lengths except 4 and 5. In particular, for n >= 6, the complement of a P_n reduces to the complement of a P_{n-4} union 3 universal nodes by contracting the second and second to last nodes of the path. With P_8 and P_9 the 2nd and 6th nodes should be contracted (instead of reducing to P_4 or P_5 respectively). - _Andrew Howroyd_, Jun 18 2025 %H A353212 Andrew Howroyd, <a href="/A353212/b353212.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a> %H A353212 Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, <a href="https://mathworld.wolfram.com/HadwigerNumber.html">Hadwiger Number</a>. %H A353212 Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, <a href="https://mathworld.wolfram.com/PathComplementGraph.html">Path Complement Graph</a>. %H A353212 <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1,0,0,1,-1). %F A353212 a(n) = floor((3*n + 1)/4) = A037915(n+1) for n >= 6. - _Andrew Howroyd_, Jun 18 2025 %o A353212 (PARI) a(n) = (3*n + 1)\4 - (n==4||n==5) \\ _Andrew Howroyd_, Jun 18 2025 %Y A353212 Cf.
