The online Ramsey game for graphs $G$ and $H$ is played on the infinite complete graph $K_\mathbb{N}$. Each round, Builder chooses an edge, and Painter colors it red or blue. The online Ramsey number $\tilde{r}(G,H)$ is the smallest integer…

The balanced double star on $2n+2$ vertices, denoted $S_{n,n}$, is the tree obtained by joining the centers of two disjoint stars each having $n$ leaves. Let $R_r(G)$ be the smallest integer $N$ such that in every $r$-coloring of the edges…

A fundamental problem in graph Ramsey theory is to determine, for sparse graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices, the minimal $n$ such that $G$ is Ramsey-good for odd cycles $C_k$ and paths $P_k$. Burr, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp (Trans.…

The Ramsey number is the minimum number of nodes, $n = R(s, t)$, such that all undirected simple graphs of order $n$, contain a clique of order $s$, or an independent set of order $t$. This paper explores the application of a best first…

Given a hypergraph $G$ and a subhypergraph $H$ of $G$, the \emph{odd Ramsey number} $r_{odd}(G,H)$ is the minimum number of colors needed to edge-color $G$ so that every copy of $H$ intersects some color class in an odd number of edges.…

In this paper we study the distance Ramsey number $R_{{\it D}}(s,t,d)$. The \textit{distance Ramsey number} $R_{{\it D}}(s,t,d) $ is the minimum number $n$ such that for any graph $ G $ on $ n $ vertices, either $G$ contains an induced $ s…

We study two classical problems in graph Ramsey theory, that of determining the Ramsey number of bounded-degree graphs and that of estimating the induced Ramsey number for a graph with a given number of vertices. The Ramsey number r(H) of a…

For bipartite graphs $G$ and $H$ and a positive integer $m$, the $m$-bipartite Ramsey number $BR_m(G, H)$ of $G$ and $H$ is the smallest integer $n$, such that every red-blue coloring of $K_{m,n}$ results in a red $G$ or a blue $H$.…

A graph G is r-Ramsey for a graph H, denoted by G\rightarrow (H)_r, if every r-colouring of the edges of G contains a monochromatic copy of H. The graph G is called r-Ramsey-minimal for H if it is r-Ramsey for H but no proper subgraph of G…

The Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every $N$-vertex $k$-graph contains either a copy of $K_s^{(k)}$ or an independent set of size $n$. A well-known conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal states that for any fixed…

We start with a systematic study of the zero-sum Ramsey numbers. For a graph $G$ with $0 \ (\!\!\!\!\mod 3)$ edges, the zero-sum Ramsey number is defined as the smallest positive integer $R(G, \mathbb{Z}_3)$ such that for every $n \geq R(G,…
