Tur\'an and Ramsey-type results for unavoidable subgraphs

Abstract

We study Tur\'an and Ramsey-type problems on edge-colored graphs. An edge-colored graph is called {\em ε\varepsilon-balanced} if each color class contains at least an ε\varepsilon-proportion of its edges. Given a family F\mathcal{F} of edge-colored graphs, the Ramsey function R(ε,F)R(\varepsilon, \mathcal{F}) is the smallest nn for which any ε\varepsilon-balanced KnK_n must contain a copy of an FFF\in\mathcal{F}, and the Tur\'an function ex(ε,n,F)\mathrm{ex}(\varepsilon, n, \mathcal{F}) is the maximum number of edges in an nn-vertex ε\varepsilon-balanced graph which avoids all of F\mathcal{F}. In this paper, we consider this Tur\'an function for several classes of edge-colored graphs, we show that the Ramsey function is linear for bounded degree graphs, and we prove a theorem that gives a relationship between the two parameters.
