In this article, we only deal with simple graph. Usually, the path and the complete graph with n vertices are denoted by Pn and Kn, respectively. For terminology and notations not undefined in this paper, the reader can refer to [1]. For a given graph F, graph G is called F-saturated if G does not contain a copy of F, but G + e has a copy of F, where e ∉ E(G). ,e famous Turán number [2], denoted by ex(n, F), is the maximum number size of graphs in all F-saturated graphs with size n. As a complement, saturation number, denoted by sat(n, F), is the minimum size of graphs in all F-saturated graphs with size n. We use SAT (n, F) which denotes the set of graphs with a minimum number size in SAT(n, F). In 1964, Erdős et al. introduced the notion of the saturation number and gave the saturation number of Kt in [3]. Kászonyi et al. gave the general upper bound of sat(n, F) in [4], when F is a kind of forbidden graphs. ,en, for a wider range of graphs F, saturation number of F has been studied by many scholars, for example, k-edge-connected graph [5], cliques [6, 7], complete bipartite graphs [8, 9], nearly complete graphs [10], books [11], cycles [12–17], trees [18, 19], and forests [20–22]. ,e reader can see summary of known results in [23]. In [24], Bushaw et al. gave the Turán number for the linear forest. Corresponding to that, Chen et al. concentrated on the saturation numbers in [20]. ,ey obtained an interesting set of results; some of those are shown as the following results.
