Standard Application

Let $P$ denote a 3-uniform hypergraph consisting of 7 vertices $a,b,c,d,e,f,g$ and 3 edges $\{a,b,c\}, \{c,d,e\},$ and $\{e,f,g\}$. It is known that the $r$-colored Ramsey number for $P$ is $R(P;r)=r+6$ for $r=2,3$, and that $R(P;r)\le 3r$ for all $r\ge3$. The latter result follows by a standard application of the Turán number $\mathrm{ex}_3(n;P)$, which was determined to be $\binom{n-1}2$ in our previous work. We have also shown that the full star is the only extremal 3-graph for $P$. In this paper, we perform a subtle analysis of the Turán numbers for $P$ under some additional restrictions. Most importantly, we determine the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex $P$-free 3-graph which is not a star. These Turán-type results, in turn, allow us to confirm the formula $R(P;r)=r+6$ for $r\in\{4,5,6,7\}$.

Existence Question

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.

Linear Hypergraphs

Anr-uniform hypergraph is called anr-graph. A hypergraph islinearif every two edges intersect in at most one vertex. Given a linearr-graphHand a positive integern, thelinear Turán numberexL(n,H) is the maximum number of edges in a linearr-graphGthat does not containHas a subgraph. For each ℓ ≥ 3, letCrℓdenote ther-uniform linear cycle of length ℓ, which is anr-graph with edgese1, . . .,eℓsuch that, for alli∈ [ℓ−1], |ei∩ei+1|=1, |eℓ∩e1|=1 andei∩ej= ∅ for all other pairs {i,j},i≠j. For allr≥ 3 and ℓ ≥ 3, we show that there exists a positive constantc=cr,ℓ, depending onlyrand ℓ, such that exL(n,Crℓ) ≤cn1+1/⌊ℓ/2⌋. This answers a question of Kostochka, Mubayi and Verstraëte [30]. For even ℓ, our result extends the result of Bondy and Simonovits [7] on the Turán numbers of even cycles to linear hypergraphs.Using our results on linear Turán numbers, we also obtain bounds on the cycle-complete hypergraph Ramsey numbers. We show that there are positive constantsa=am,randb=bm,r, depending only onmandr, such that\begin{equation} R(C^r_{2m}, K^r_t)\leq a \Bigl(\frac{t}{\ln t}\Bigr)^{{m}/{(m-1)}} \quad\text{and}\quad R(C^r_{2m+1}, K^r_t)\leq b t^{{m}/{(m-1)}}. \end{equation}

R. H. Schelp conjectured that if G is a graph with |V(G)| = R(Pn, Pn) such that δ(G) > $$\frac{3|V(G)|}{ 4}$, then in every 2-colouring of the edges of G there is a monochromatic Pn. In other words, the Ramsey number of a path does not change if the graph to be coloured is not complete but has large minimum degree.Here we prove Ramsey-type results that imply the conjecture in a weakened form, first replacing the path by a matching, showing that the star-matching–matching Ramsey number satisfying R(Sn, nK2, nK2) = 3n − 1. This extends R(nK2, nK2) = 3n − 1, an old result of Cockayne and Lorimer. Then we extend this further from matchings to connected matchings, and outline how this implies Schelp's conjecture in an asymptotic sense through a standard application of the Regularity Lemma.It is sad that we are unable to hear Dick Schelp's reaction to our work generated by his conjecture.

Ramsey Numbers

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called a Berge-$G$, denoted by $BG$, if there exists an injection $f: E(G) \to E(\mathcal{H})$ such that for every $e \in E(G)$, $e \subseteq f(e)$. Let the Ramsey number $R^r(BG,BG)$ be the smallest integer $n$ such that for any $2$-edge-coloring of a complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, there is a monochromatic Berge-$G$ subhypergraph. In this paper, we show that the 2-color Ramsey number of Berge cliques is linear. In particular, we show that $R^3(BK_s, BK_t) = s+t-3$ for $s,t \geq 4$ and $\max(s,t) \geq 5$ where $BK_n$ is a Berge-$K_n$ hypergraph. For higher uniformity, we show that $R^4(BK_t, BK_t) = t+1$ for $t\geq 6$ and $R^k(BK_t, BK_t)=t$ for $k \geq 5$ and $t$ sufficiently large. We also investigate the Ramsey number of trace hypergraphs, suspension hypergraphs and expansion hypergraphs.

AbstractThe hedgehog Ht is a 3-uniform hypergraph on vertices $1, \ldots ,t + \left({\matrix{t \cr 2}}\right)$ such that, for any pair (i, j) with 1 ≤ i < j ≤ t, there exists a unique vertex k > t such that {i, j, k} is an edge. Conlon, Fox and Rödl proved that the two-colour Ramsey number of the hedgehog grows polynomially in the number of its vertices, while the four-colour Ramsey number grows exponentially in the square root of the number of vertices. They asked whether the two-colour Ramsey number of the hedgehog Ht is nearly linear in the number of its vertices. We answer this question affirmatively, proving that r(Ht) = O(t2 ln t).

Do So

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.

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 $R(4,t)$.
