    An alternating path in an edge-colored graph is a path in which every two adjacent edges have different colors. In this paper, an \(O(n^{2.5})\) algorithm is given for finding the maximum number of internally vertex- disjoint alternating paths between a specified pair of vertices in an edge-colored complete graph. Related problems are studied in which further restrictions on the paths and on the edge-colorings are imposed.
