Abstract

For graphs FF and GG, let F(G,G)F\to (G,G) signify that any red/blue edge coloring of FF contains a monochromatic GG. Define Folkman number f(G;p)f(G;p) to be the smallest order of a graph FF such that F(G,G)F\to (G,G) and ω(F)p\omega(F) \le p. It is shown that f(G;p)cnf(G;p)\le cn for graphs GG of order nn with Δ(G)Δ\Delta(G)\le \Delta, where Δ3\Delta\ge 3, c=c(Δ)c=c(\Delta) and p=p(Δ)p=p(\Delta) are positive constants.
