Abstract

Given graphs GG, H1H_1, and H2H_2, let Gmr(H1,H2)G\xrightarrow{\text{mr}}(H_1,H_2) denote the property that in every edge colouring of GG there is a monochromatic copy of H1H_1 or a rainbow copy of H2H_2. The constrained Ramsey number, defined as the minimum nn such that Knmr(H1,H2)K_n\xrightarrow{\text{mr}}(H_1,H_2), exists if and only if H1H_1 is a star or H2H_2 is a forest. We determine the threshold for the property G(n,p)mr(H1,H2)G(n,p)\xrightarrow{\text{mr}}(H_1,H_2) when H2H_2 is a forest, explicitly when the threshold is Ω(n1)\Omega(n^{-1}) and implicitly otherwise.
