Abstract While defining the anti-Ramsey number Erdős, Simonovits and Sós mentioned that the extremal colorings may not be unique. In the paper we discuss the uniqueness of the colorings, generalize the idea of their construction and show how to use it to construct the colorings of the edges of complete split graphs avoiding rainbow 2-connected subgraphs. These colorings give the lower bounds for adequate anti-Ramsey numbers.

AbstractWe are interested here in the Ramsey number r(T, C), where C is a complete k-uniform hypergraph and T is a “tree-like” k-graph. Upper and lower bounds are found for these numbers which lead, in some cases, to the exact value for r(T, C) and to a generalization of a theorem of Chváta1 on Ramsey numbers for graphs. In other cases we show that a determination of the exact values of r(T, C) would be equivalent to obtaining a complete solution to existence question for a certain class of Steiner systems.

Using computer algorithms we establish that the Ramsey number $R(3,K_{10}-e)$ is equal to 37, which solves the smallest open case for Ramsey numbers of this type. We also obtain new upper bounds for the cases of $R(3,K_k-e)$ for $11 \le k \le 16$, and show by construction a new lower bound $55 \le R(3,K_{13}-e)$.The new upper bounds on $R(3,K_k-e)$ are obtained by using the values and lower bounds on $e(3,K_l-e,n)$ for $l \le k$, where $e(3,K_k-e,n)$ is the minimum number of edges in any triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices without $K_k-e$ in the complement. We complete the computation of the exact values of $e(3,K_k-e,n)$ for all $n$ with $k \leq 10$ and for $n \leq 34$ with $k = 11$, and establish many new lower bounds on $e(3,K_k-e,n)$ for higher values of $k$.Using the maximum triangle-free graph generation method, we determine two other previously unknown Ramsey numbers, namely $R(3,K_{10}-K_3-e)=31$ and $R(3,K_{10}-P_3-e)=31$. For graphs $G$ on 10 vertices, besides $G=K_{10}$, this leaves 6 open cases of the form $R(3,G)$. The hardest among them appears to be $G=K_{10}-2K_2$, for which we establish the bounds $31 \le R(3,K_{10}-2K_2) \le 33$.

Consider a game played on the edge set of the infinite clique by two players, Builder and Painter. In each round, Builder chooses an edge and Painter colours it red or blue. Builder wins by creating either a red copy of $G$ or a blue copy of $H$ for some fixed graphs $G$ and $H$. The minimum number of rounds within which Builder can win, assuming both players play perfectly, is the on-line Ramsey number $\tilde{r}(G,H)$. In this paper, we consider the case where $G$ is a path $P_k$. We prove that $\tilde{r}(P_3,P_{\ell+1}) = \lceil 5\ell/4\rceil = \tilde{r}(P_3,C_{\ell})$ for all $\ell \ge 5$, and determine $\tilde{r}(P_4,P_{\ell+1})$ up to an additive constant for all $\ell \ge 3$. We also prove some general lower bounds for on-line Ramsey numbers of the form $\tilde{r}(P_{k+1},H)$.

We consider the important generalisation of Ramsey numbers, namely on-line Ramsey numbers. It is easiest to understand them by considering a game between two players, a Builder and Painter, on an infinite set of vertices. In each round, the Builder joins two non-adjacent vertices with an edge, and the Painter colors the edge red or blue. An on-line Ramsey number r˜(G,H) is the minimum number of rounds it takes the Builder to force the Painter to create a red copy of graph G or a blue copy of graph H, assuming that both the Builder and Painter play perfectly. The Painter’s goal is to resist to do so for as long as possible. In this paper, we consider the case where G is a path P4 and H is a path P10 or P11.

Subgraph Isomorphic

The graph Ramsey number is the smallest integer with the property that any complete graph of at least vertices whose edges are colored with two colors (say, red and blue) contains either a subgraph isomorphic to all of whose edges are red or a subgraph isomorphic to all of whose edges are blue. In this paper, we consider the Ramsey numbers for theta graphs. We determine , for . More specifically, we establish that for . Furthermore, we determine for . In fact, we establish that if is even, if is odd.

Monochromatic Copy

For given graphs G1,G2,…,Gn and any integer j, the size of the multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1,G2,…,Gn) is the smallest positive integer t such that any n-coloring of the edges of Kj×t contains a monochromatic copy of Gi in color i for some i, 1≤i≤n, where Kj×t denotes the complete multipartite graph having j classes with t vertices per each class. In this paper, we computed the size of the multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,2,P4,nK2) for any j,n≥2 and mj(nK2,C7), for any j≤4 and n≥2.

Given a graph Hwith no isolates, the (generalized) mixed Ramsey number is the smallest integer r such that every H-free graph of order r contains an m-element irredundant set. We consider some questions concerning the asymptotic behaviour of this number (i) with H fixed and , (ii) with m fixed and a sequence of dense graphs, in particular for the sequence . Open problems are mentioned throughout the paper.

Ramsey Numbers

Let $Q(n,c)$ denote the minimum clique number over graphs with $n$ vertices and chromatic number $c$. We investigate the asymptotics of $Q(n,c)$ when $n/c$ is held constant. We show that when $n/c$ is an integer $\alpha$, $Q(n,c)$ has the same growth order as the inverse function of the Ramsey number $R(\alpha+1,t)$ (as a function of $t$). Furthermore, we show that if certain asymptotic properties of the Ramsey numbers hold, then $Q(n,c)$ is in fact asymptotically equivalent to the aforementioned inverse function. We use this fact to deduce that $Q(n,\lceil n/3 \rceil)$ is asymptotically equivalent to the inverse function of $R(4,t)$.
