Recently, asymptotic values of 2-color Ramsey numbers for loose cycles and also loose paths were determined. Here we determine the 2-color Ramsey number of $3$-uniform loose paths when one of the paths is significantly larger than the other:  for every $n\geq \Big\lfloor\frac{5m}{4}\Big\rfloor$, we show that $$R(\mathcal{P}^3_n,\mathcal{P}^3_m)=2n+\Big\lfloor\frac{m+1}{2}\Big\rfloor.$$

The asymptotics of 2-colour Ramsey numbers of loose and tight cycles in 3-uniform hypergraphs were recently determined [16, 17]. We address the same problem for Berge cycles and for 3 colours. Our main result is that the 3-colour Ramsey number of a 3-uniform Berge cycle of length n is asymptotic to $\frac{5n}{4}$. The result is proved with the Regularity Lemma via the existence of a monochromatic connected matching covering asymptotically 4n/5 vertices in the multicoloured 2-shadow graph induced by the colouring of Kn(3).

Asymptotic values of hypergraph Ramsey numbers for loose cycles (and paths) were determined recently. Here we determine some of them exactly, for example the 2-color hypergraph Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform loose 3-cycle or 4-cycle: $R(\mathcal{C}^k_3,\mathcal{C}^k_3)=3k-2$ and $R(\mathcal{C}_4^k,\mathcal{C}_4^k)=4k-3$ (for $k\geq 3$). For more than 3-colors we could prove only that $R(\mathcal{C}^3_3,\mathcal{C}^3_3,\mathcal{C}^3_3)=8$. Nevertheless, the $r$-color Ramsey number of triangles for hypergraphs are much smaller than for graphs: for $r\geq 3$, $$r+5\le R(\mathcal{C}_3^3,\mathcal{C}_3^3,\dots,\mathcal{C}_3^3)\le 3r$$

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.

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.

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.

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 $R(4,t)$.

For two graphs S and T, the constrained Ramsey number f(S, T) is the minimum n such that every edge colouring of the complete graph on n vertices (with any number of colours) has a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to S or a rainbow subgraph isomorphic to T. Here, a subgraph is said to be rainbow if all of its edges have different colours. It is an immediate consequence of the Erdős–Rado Canonical Ramsey Theorem that f(S, T) exists if and only if S is a star or T is acyclic. Much work has been done to determine the rate of growth of f(S, T) for various types of parameters. When S and T are both trees having s and t edges respectively, Jamison, Jiang and Ling showed that f(S, T) ≤ O(st2) and conjectured that it is always at most O(st). They also mentioned that one of the most interesting open special cases is when T is a path. In this paper, we study this case and show that f(S, Pt) = O(st log t), which differs only by a logarithmic factor from the conjecture. This substantially improves the previous bounds for most values of s and t.

Ramsey numbers deal with conditions when a combinatorial object necessarily contains some smaller given objects. It is well known that it is very difficult to obtain the values of Ramsey numbers. In this work, a theoretical chemical/biological solution is presented in terms of membrane computing for the decision version of Ramsey number problem, that is, to decide whether an integer n is the value of Ramsey number R(k, l), where k and l are integers.

Gaitan and Clark [Phys. Rev. Lett.108 (2012) 010501] have recently presented a quantum algorithm for the computation of the Ramsey numbers R(m, n) using adiabatic quantum evolution (AQE). We consider that the two-color Ramsey numbers R(m, n; r) for r-uniform hypergraphs can be computed by using the similar ways in Phys. Rev. Lett.108 (2012) 010501. In this paper, we show how the computation of R(m, n; r) can be mapped to a combinatorial optimization problem whose solution be found using AQE.
