Combinatorial characterizations of the saturation and the associated primes of the fourth power of edge ideals (Q746809)

Let \(G\) be a graph and \(I=I(G)\) its edge ideal. The authors classify all the \(4\)-saturated weighted graphs. By using the relation between \(t\)-saturated weighted graphs and saturation of \(I^t\), the authors describe the generators of the saturation od \(I^4\). Moreover, they also give a combinatorial characterization of associated primes of \(I^4\).
