An Anti-Ramsey Problem Concerning Complete Bipartite Graphs

Combinatorics 2015-06-26 v3

Abstract

We consider quadruples of positive integers (a,b,m,n)(a,b,m,n) with aba\leq b and mnm\leq n such that any proper edge-coloring of the complete bipartite graph Km,nK_{m,n} contains a rainbow Ka,bK_{a,b} subgraph. We show that any such quadruple with ama\leq m and n>(a2a+1)(b1)n>(a^2-a+1)(b-1) satisfies this property. We also show that the quadruple (2,3,3,6)(2,3,3,6) satisfies this property. We end with a conjecture.
