Finding a path of superlogarithmic length

Björklund, Andreas LU and Husfeldt, Thore LU (2002) Proceedings of 29th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming LNCS 2380. p.985-992
Abstract
We consider the problem of nding a long, simple path in anundirected graph.W e present a polynomial-time algorithm that ndsa path of length (log L/ log log L)2, where L denotes the length ofthe longest simple path in the graph.This establishes the performanceratio O|V |(log log |V |/ log |V |)2 for the Longest Path problem, whereV denotes the graphs vertices.
