Abstract

We show that, for every r,kr, k, there is an n=n(r,k)n = n(r,k) so that any rr-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on [n][n] will yield a monochromatic complete subgraph on vertices a+iIdiI[k]{a + \sum_{i \in I} d_i \mid I \subseteq [k]} for some choice of a,d1,...,dka, d_1,..., d_k. In particular, there is always a solution to x1+...+x=y1+...+yx_1 + ... + x_\ell = y_1 + ... + y_\ell whose induced subgraph is monochromatic.
