Finding Large Monochromatic Diameter Two Subgraphs

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Given a coloring of the edges of the complete graph on n vertices in k colors, by considering the neighbors of an arbitrary vertex it follows that there is a monochromatic diameter two subgraph on at least 1+(n-1)/k vertices. We show that for k3k \ge 3 this is asymptotically best possible, and that for k=2 there is always a monochromatic diameter two subgraph on at least 34n\lceil {3 \over 4} n \rceil vertices, which again, is best possible.
