For two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the size Ramsey number $\hat{r}(G_1,G_2)$ is the smallest positive integer $m$ for which there exists a graph $G$ of size $m$ such that for any red-blue edge-coloring of the graph $G$, $G$ contains either a…

An ordered graph is a graph whose vertex set is equipped with a total order. The ordered complete graph $K_N^<$ is the complete graph with vertex set $[N]$ equipped with the natural ordering of the integers. Given an ordered graph $H$, the…

In this note we study graphs $G_r$ with the property that every colouring of $E(G_r)$ with $r+1$ colours admits a copy of some graph $H$ using at most $r$ colours. For $1\le r\le e(H)$ such graphs occur naturally at intermediate steps in…

For given graphs $G$ and $H,$ the \emph{Ramsey number} $R(G,H)$ is the least natural number $n$ such that for every graph $F$ of order $n$ the following condition holds: either $F$ contains $G$ or the complement of $F$ contains $H.$ In this…

A non-increasing sequence $\pi=(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ of nonnegative integers is said to be graphic if it is realizable by a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. A graphic sequence $\pi=(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ is said to be potentially $_3C_\ell$-graphic…

For an integer $r\geq 2$ and bipartite graphs $H_i$, where $1\leq i\leq r$, the bipartite Ramsey number $br(H_1,H_2,\ldots,H_r)$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that any $r$-edge coloring of the complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$ contains a…

For given a graph $H$, a graphic sequence $\pi=(d_1,d_2,...,d_n)$ is said to be potentially $H$-graphic if there exists a realization of $\pi$ containing $H$ as a subgraph. Let $K_m-H$ be the graph obtained from $K_m$ by removing the edges…

Let $G_1, G_2, ..., G_t$ be graphs. The multicolor Ramsey number $R(G_1, G_2, ..., G_t)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that if the edges of complete graph $K_n$ are partitioned into $t$ disjoint color classes giving $t$ graphs…

Generalizing Chv\'atal's classic 1972 result, Ho\`ang proposed in 1995 the following conjecture, which strengthens Chv\'atal's result in terms of toughness: Let $t\ge 1$ be a positive integer and $G$ be a $t$-tough graph on $n \ge 3$…

An edge-ordered graph is a graph with a linear ordering of its edges. Two edge-ordered graphs are equivalent if their is an isomorphism between them preserving the ordering of the edges. The edge-ordered Ramsey number $r_{edge}(H; q)$ of an…

The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph on $V(G)$ with a pair of vertices $uv$ an edge whenever $u$ and $v$ have distance $1$ or $2$ in $G$. Given graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the minimum $N$ such that whenever the…

A graphic sequence $\pi$ is potentially $H$-graphic if there is some realization of $\pi$ that contains $H$ as a subgraph. The Erd\H{o}s-Jacobson-Lehel problem asks to determine $\sigma(H,n)$, the minimum even integer such that any $n$-term…

One of the classical topics in graph Ramsey theory is the study of which $n$-vertex graphs have Ramsey numbers that are linear in $n$. In this paper, we consider this problem in the context of directed graphs. The oriented Ramsey number of…

Given positive integers $k$ and $\ell$ we write $G \rightarrow (K_k,K_\ell)$ if every 2-colouring of the edges of $G$ yields a red copy of $K_k$ or a blue copy of $K_\ell$ and we denote by $R(k)$ the minimum $n$ such that $K_n\rightarrow…

According to the classic Chv{\'{a}}tal's Lemma from 1977, a graph of minimum degree $\delta(G)$ contains every tree on $\delta(G)+1$ vertices. Our main result is the following algorithmic "extension" of Chv\'{a}tal's Lemma: For any…
