Abstract

A set of vertices XVX\subseteq V in a simple graph G(V,E)G(V,E) is irredundant (CO-irredundant) if each vertex xXx\in X is either isolated in the induced subgraph G[X]G[X] or else has a private neighbor yVXy\in V\setminus X (yVy\in V) that is adjacent to xx and to no other vertex of XX. The irredundant Ramsey number s(t1,,tl)s(t_{1},\ldots,t_{l}), CO-irredundant Ramsey number sCO(t1,,tl)s_{\operatorname{CO}}(t_{1},\ldots,t_{l}), is the minimum NN such that every ll-coloring of the edges of the complete graph KNK_{N} on NN vertices has a monochromatic irredundant set, a monochromatic CO-irredundant set, of size tit_{i} for some 1il1\leq i\leq l, respectively. In this paper, firstly, we establish a lower bound for the irredundant Ramsey number s(t1,,tl)s(t_{1},\ldots,t_{l}) by a random and probabilistic method. Secondly, we improve an upper bound for s(3,9)s(3,9) such that 24s(3,9)2624\leq s(3,9)\leq 26. Thirdly, using Krivelevich's lemma, we establish an asymptotic lower bound for the CO\operatorname{CO}-irredundant Ramsey number sCO(m,n)s_{\operatorname{CO}}(m,n).
