Abstract
In 1916, Schur introduced the Ramsey number , which is the minimum integer such that for any -coloring of the edges of the complete graph , there is a monochromatic copy of . He showed that , and a simple construction demonstrates that . An old conjecture of Erd\H os states that . In this note, we prove the conjecture for -colorings with bounded VC-dimension, that is, for -colorings with the property that the set system induced by the neighborhoods of the vertices with respect to each color class has bounded VC-dimension.
