Abstract
For simple graphs and , their size Ramsey number is the smallest possible size of such that for any red-blue coloring of its edges, contains either a red or a blue . Similarly, we can define the connected size Ramsey number by adding the prerequisite that must be connected. In this paper, we explore the relationships between these size Ramsey numbers and give some results on their values for certain classes of graphs. We are mainly interested in the cases where is either a or a , and where is either a cycle or a union of paths . Additionally, we improve an upper bound regarding the values of and for certain and .
