Edge-colored saturated graphs

A graph G is (k₁, k₂, …, k_t)-saturated if there exists a coloring C of the edges of G in t colors 1, 2, …, t in such a way that there is no monochromatic complete k_i-subgraph K of color i, 1 ? i ? t, but the addition of any new edge of color i, joining two nonadjacent vertices in G, with C, creates a monochromatic K of color i, 1 ? i ? t. We determine the maximum and minimum number of edges in such graphs and characterize the unique extremal graphs.
