A subset of $[n] = \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is called stable if it forms an independent set in the cycle on the vertex set $[n]$. In 1978, Schrijver proved via a topological argument that for all integers $n$ and $k$ with $n \geq 2k$, the family…

In this paper we consider a linear homogeneous system of $m$ equations in $n$ unknowns with integer coefficients over the reals. Assume that the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of each equation does not exceed $k+1$ for some…

Gy\'arf\'as, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi proved that the $2$-color Ramsey number $R(\mathcal{C}^k_n,\mathcal{C}^k_n)$ of a $k$-uniform loose cycle $\mathcal{C}^k_n$ is asymptotically $\frac{1}{2}(2k-1)n,$ generating the same result for…

Consider the set $\{1,2,\dots,n\} = [n]$ and an equation $eq$. The rainbow number of $[n]$ for $eq$, denoted $\operatorname{rb}([n],eq)$, is the smallest number of colors such that for every exact $\operatorname{rb}([n], eq)$-coloring of…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph for short) is called linear if every pair of vertices belong to at most one edge. A linear $r$-graph is complete if every pair of vertices are in exactly one edge. The famous Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os…

Given integers $2\le t \le k+1 \le n$, let $g_k(t,n)$ be the minimum $N$ such that every red/blue coloring of the $k$-subsets of $\{1, \ldots, N\}$ yields either a $(k+1)$-set containing $t$ red $k$-subsets, or an $n$-set with all of its…

The $(k,\ell)$-rainbow index $rx_{k, \ell}(G)$ of a graph $G$ was introduced by Chartrand et. al. For the complete graph $K_n$ of order $n\geq 6$, they showed that $rx_{3,\ell}(K_n)=3$ for $\ell=1,2$. Furthermore, they conjectured that for…

Let $r$, $m$ and $k\geq 2$ be positive integers such that $r\mid k$ and let $v \in \left[ 0,\lfloor \frac{k-1}{2r} \rfloor \right]$ be any integer. For any integer $\ell \in [1, k]$ and $\epsilon \in \{0,1\}$, we let…

In 1982, Beutelspacher and Brestovansky determined the 2-color Rado number of the equation $$x_1+x_2+\cdots +x_{m-1}=x_m$$ for all $m\geq 3.$ Here we extend their result by determining the 2-color Rado number of the equation…

We address partition regularity problems for homogeneous quadratic equations. A consequence of our main results is that, under natural conditions on the coefficients $a,b,c$, for any finite coloring of the positive integers, there exists a…

Tverberg's theorem asserts that every (k-1)(d+1)+1 points in R^d can be partitioned into k parts, so that the convex hulls of the parts have a common intersection. Calder and Eckhoff asked whether there is a purely combinatorial deduction…

A matrix \( A \) is called \emph{kernel partition regular} if, for every finite coloring of the natural numbers \( \mathbb{N} \), there exists a monochromatic solution to the equation \( A\vec{X} = 0 \). In 1933, Rado characterized such…

Let $n\in \mathbb{N}$, $R$ be a binary relation on $[n]$, and $C_1(i,j),\ldots,C_n(i,j) \in \mathbb{Z}$, for $i,j \in [n]$. We define the exponential system of equations $\mathcal{E}(R,(C_k(i,j)_{i,j,k})$ to be the system \[…

Let $r$ and $k$ be positive integers with $r \mid k$. Denote by $S_{\mathrm{\mathfrak{z}}}(k;r)$ the minimum integer $n$ such that every coloring $\chi:[1,n] \rightarrow \{0,1,\dots,r-1\}$ admits a solution to $\sum_{i=1}^{k-1} x_i = x_k$…

In this paper, we present a simplified proof of Rado's Theorem and demonstrate that when an integer matrix $M$ satisfies the column condition and $M\mathbf x=\mathbf 0$ has an element-distinct solution on $\mathbb N$, then under any finite…

Hadwiger's Conjecture asserts that every $K_t$-minor-free graph has a proper $(t-1)$-colouring. We relax the conclusion in Hadwiger's Conjecture via improper colourings. We prove that every $K_t$-minor-free graph is $(2t-2)$-colourable with…

Ramsey-type problems for linear equations began with Schur's theorem and were systematically generalized by Richard Rado. In the off-diagonal framework for two colors, one considers two different linear equations…

We prove that in every $2$-edge-colouring of $K_n$ there is a collection of $n^2/12 + o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint monochromatic triangles, thus confirming a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. We also prove a corresponding stability result, showing that…

A linearly ordered (LO) $k$-colouring of a hypergraph assigns to each vertex a colour from the set $\{0,1,\ldots,k-1\}$ in such a way that each hyperedge has a unique maximum element. Barto, Batistelli, and Berg conjectured that it is…

The canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for any graph $H$, any edge-coloring (with an arbitrary number of colors) of a sufficiently large complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic, lexicographic, or rainbow copy…
