Abstract

Schur's theorem states that in any kk-colouring of the set of integers [n][n] there is a monochromatic solution to a+b=ca+b=c, provided nn is sufficiently large. Abbott and Wang studied the size of the largest subset of [n][n] such that there is a kk-colouring avoiding a monochromatic a+b=ca+b=c. In other directions, the minimum number of a+b=ca+b=c in kk-colourings of [n][n] and the probability threshold in random subsets of [n][n] for the property of having a monochromatic a+b=ca+b=c in any kk-colouring were investigated. In this paper, we study natural generalisations of these streams to products ab=cab=c, in a deterministic, random, and randomly perturbed environments.
