Rainbow paths

A k -rainbow path in a graph with colored edges is a path of length k where each edge has a different color. In this note, we settle the problem of obtaining a constructive k -coloring of the edges of K n in which one may find, between any pair of vertices, a large number of internally disjoint k -rainbow paths. In fact, our construction obtains the largest possible number of paths. This problem was considered in a less general setting by Chartrand et al. (2007) [6].
