Complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs without rainbow path

Motivated by Ramsey-type questions, we consider edge-colorings of complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs without rainbow path. Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, the $k$-colored Gallai–Ramsey number $g{r}_k(G:H)$ is defined to be the minimum integer $n$ such that $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{2}\right)\ge k$ and for every $N\ge n$, every rainbow $G$-free coloring (using all $k$ colors) of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. In this paper, we first provide some exact values and bounds of $g{r}_k(P_5:K_t)$. Moreover, we define the $k$-colored bipartite Gallai–Ramsey number $bg{r}_k(G:H)$ as the minimum integer $n$ such that $n^2\ge k$ and for every $N\ge n$, every rainbow $G$-free coloring (using all $k$ colors) of the complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. Furthermore, we describe the structures of complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$ with no rainbow $P_4$ and $P_5$, respectively. Finally, we find the exact values of $bg{r}_k(P_4:K_{s,t})$ ($1\le s\le t$), $bg{r}_k(P_4:F)$ (where $F$ is a subgraph of $K_{s,t}$), $bg{r}_k(P_5:K_{1,t})$ and $bg{r}_k(P_5:K_{2,t})$ by using the structural results.
