Abstract
We solve four similar problems: For every fixed and large , we describe all values of such that for every -edge-coloring of the complete -partite graph there exists a monochromatic (i) cycle with vertices, (ii) cycle with at least vertices, (iii) path with vertices, and (iv) path with vertices. This implies a generalization for large of the conjecture by Gy\'arf\'as, Ruszink\'o, S\'ark\H{o}zy and Szemer\'edi that for every -edge-coloring of the complete -partite graph there is a monochromatic path . An important tool is our recent stability theorem on monochromatic connected matchings.
