Abstract

We prove that in any n-vertex complete graph, there is a collection P of (1+o(1))n paths that strongly separates any pair of distinct edges e,f, meaning that there is a path in P, which contains e but not f. Furthermore, for certain classes of n-vertex alpha n-regular graphs, we find a collection of (3 alpha+1-1+o(1))n paths that strongly separates any pair of edges. Both results are best-possible up to the o(1) term. (AU)
