Using computational techniques we derive six new upper bounds on the classical two-color Ramsey numbers: R(3,10) <= 42, R(3,11) <= 50, R(3,13) <= 68, R(3,14) <= 77, R(3,15) <= 87, and R(3,16) <= 98. All of them are improvements by one over…

Let $R_h(k; \ell)$ be the smallest integer $n$ such that any edge coloring of a complete graph on $n$ vertices in $\ell$ colors results in a monochromatic $K_k$-minor, in other words, a graph with Hadwiger number $k$, i.e., a graph that…

Let $f^{(r)}(n;s,k)$ be the maximum number of edges of an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices not containing a subgraph with $k$ edges and at most $s$ vertices. In 1973, Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os conjectured that the limit $$\lim_{n\to…

For edge-ordered graphs $G^{\prec}$ and $H^{\prec}$, the size edge-ordered Ramsey number $\hat{r}_{\text{edge}}(G^{\prec}, H^{\prec})$ is defined as the smallest integer $m$ for which there exists an edge-ordered graph $F^{\prec}$ (with…

The anti-Ramsey number $\mathrm{ar}(n,F)$ of an $r$-graph $F$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color the complete $n$-vertex $r$-graph to ensure the existence of a rainbow copy of $F$. We establish a removal-type result for the…

For graphs $F$ and $H$, we say $F$ is Ramsey for $H$ if every $2$-coloring of the edges of $F$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The graph $F$ is Ramsey $H$-minimal if $F$ is Ramsey for $H$ and there is no proper subgraph $F'$ of $F$ so…

Given a vertex-ordered graph $G$, the ordered Ramsey number $r_<(G)$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that every $2$-coloring of the edges of the complete ordered graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic ordered copy of $G$. Motivated by a…

For a graph G and an integer t we let mcc_t(G) be the smallest m such that there exists a coloring of the vertices of G by t colors with no monochromatic connected subgraph having more than m vertices. Let F be any nontrivial minor-closed…

We study an analogue of the Ramsey multiplicity problem for additive structures, in particular establishing the minimum number of monochromatic 3-APs in 3-colorings of $\mathbb{F}_3^n$ as well as obtaining the first non-trivial lower bound…

Let $m(n,r)$ denote the minimal number of edges in an $n$-uniform hypergraph which is not $r$-colorable. For the broad history of the problem see [RaiSh]. It is known that for a fixed $n$ the sequence \[ \frac{m(n,r)}{r^n} \] has a limit.…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\Gamma$ a finite abelian group. The zero-sum Ramsey number of $G$ over $\Gamma$, denoted by $R(G, \Gamma)$, is the smallest positive integer $t$ (if it exists) such that any edge-colouring $c:E(K_t)\to\Gamma$…

The Ramsey number r_k(s,n) is the minimum N such that every red-blue coloring of the k-tuples of an N-element set contains either a red set of size s or a blue set of size n, where a set is called red (blue) if all k-tuples from this set…

The Ramsey number $r(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum integer $n$ such that any two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. While this definition only asks for a single monochromatic copy of…

We study the multicolor Ramsey numbers for paths and even cycles, $R_k(P_n)$ and $R_k(C_n)$, which are the smallest integers $N$ such that every coloring of the complete graph $K_N$ has a monochromatic copy of $P_n$ or $C_n$ respectively.…

We investigate Ramsey properties of a random graph model in which random edges are added to a given dense graph. Specifically, we determine lower and upper bounds on the function $p=p(n)$ that ensures that for any dense graph $G_n$ a.a.s.…

Answering a question raised by Dudek and Pra\l{}at, we show that if $pn\rightarrow \infty$, w.h.p.,~whenever $G=G(n,p)$ is $2$-coloured, there exists a monochromatic path of length $n(2/3+o(1))$. This result is optimal in the sense that…

We discuss a variant of the Ramsey and the directed Ramsey problem. First, consider a complete graph on $n$ vertices and a two-coloring of the edges such that every edge is colored with at least one color and the number of bicolored edges…

We provide several constructions for problems in Ramsey theory. First, we prove a superexponential lower bound for the classical 4-uniform Ramsey number $r_4(5,n)$, and the same for the iterated $(k-4)$-fold logarithm of the $k$-uniform…

The size-Ramsey number $\hat r(G')$ of a graph $G'$ is defined as the smallest integer $m$ so that there exists a graph $G$ with $m$ edges such that every $2$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G'$. Answering a…
