Given a graph H, we say a graph G is H -saturated if G does not contain H as a subgraph and the addition of any edge e E (G) results in H as a subgraph. The question of the minimum number of edges of an H -saturated graph on n vertices, known as the saturation number. In this paper, we mainly research the saturation number for linear forests and characterize the extremal graphs.
Chang et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
