A Note on Upper Bounds for Some Generalized Folkman Numbers

Combinatorics 2017-08-02 v1

Abstract

We present some new constructive upper bounds based on product graphs for generalized vertex Folkman numbers. They lead to new upper bounds for some special cases of generalized edge Folkman numbers, including Fe(K3,K4e;K5)27F_e(K_3,K_4-e; K_5) \leq 27 and Fe(K4e,K4e;K5)51F_e(K_4-e,K_4-e; K_5) \leq 51. The latter bound follows from a construction of a K5K_5-free graph on 51 vertices, for which every coloring of its edges with two colors contains a monochromatic K4eK_4-e.
