For an integer $q\ge 2$, a graph $G$ is called $q$-Ramsey for a graph $H$ if every $q$-colouring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. If $G$ is $q$-Ramsey for $H$, yet no proper subgraph of $G$ has this property then…

In a $(G^1,G^2)$ coloring of a graph $G$, every edge of $G$ is in $G^1$ or $G^2$. For two bipartite graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, the bipartite Ramsey number $BR(H_1, H_2)$ is the least integer $b\geq 1$, such that for every $(G^1, G^2)$ coloring…

We say that a graph $F$ strongly arrows a pair of graphs $(G,H)$ if any 2-colouring of its edges with red and blue leads to either a red $G$ or a blue $H$ appearing as induced subgraphs of $F$. The induced Ramsey number, $IR(G,H)$ is…

The lower bound for the classical Ramsey number R(4, 8) is improved from 56 to 58. The author has found a new edge coloring of K_{57} that has no complete graphs of order 4 in the first color, and no complete graphs of order 8 in the second…

Given a graph $H$ and an integer $k\ge1$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $GR_k(H)$ is defined to be the minimum integer $n$ such that every $k$-edge coloring of $K_n$ contains either a rainbow (all different colored) triangle or a monochromatic…

In this note we consider a Ramsey property of random $d$-regular graphs, $\mathcal{G}(n,d)$. Let $r\ge 2$ be fixed. Then w.h.p. the edges of $\mathcal{G}(n, 2r)$ can be colored such that every monochromatic component has size $o(n)$. On the…

Given a graph $H$, let $\chi_H(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the smallest positive integer $r$ such that there exists an $r$-coloring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with no monochromatic unit-copy of $H$, that is a set of $|V(H)|$ vertices of the same color such…

Given graphs $G$ and $H$ and a positive integer $k$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $gr_{k}(G : H)$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that for any integer $n \geq N$, every $k$-edge-coloring of $K_{n}$ contains either a rainbow copy of $G$ or a…

Bipartite Ramsey numbers is the smallest size of a complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$ such that every edge-coloring with a given number of colors inevitably yields a monochromatic copy of a prescribed bipartite graph. While exact values…

The Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the minimum $N$ such that every red-blue coloring of the $k$-subsets of $\{1, \ldots, N\}$ contains a red set of size $s$ or a blue set of size $n$, where a set is red (blue) if all of its $k$-subsets are red…

Given bipartite graphs $G_1, \ldots, G_n$, the bipartite Ramsey number $BR(G_1,\ldots, G_n)$ is the last integer $b$ such that any complete bipartite graph $K_{b,b}$ with edges coloured with colours $1,2,\ldots,n$ contains a copy of some…

Denote by $R(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ the minimum integer $N$ such that any three-colouring of the edges of the complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of a graph $G_i$ coloured with colour $i$ for some $i\in{1,2,3}$. In a…

We study the color patterns that, for $n$ sufficiently large, are unavoidable in $2$-colorings of the edges of a complete graph $K_n$ with respect to $\min \{e(R), e(B)\}$, where $e(R)$ and $e(B)$ are the numbers of red and, respectively,…

The weighted Ramsey number, ${\rm wR}(n,k)$, is the minimum $q$ such that there is an assignment of nonnegative real numbers (weights) to the edges of $K_n$ with the total sum of the weights equal to ${n\choose 2}$ and there is a Red/Blue…

The odd-Ramsey number $r_{{\text odd}}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$, as introduced by Alon in his work on graph-codes, is the minimum number of colours needed to edge-colour $K_n$ so that every copy of $H$ intersects some colour class in an odd…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called {\em rainbow} if no two edges of it are colored the same. For an $\ell$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq \ell$, the {\em rainbow $k$-connection number} $rc_k(G)$ of $G$ is…

A Gallai coloring is a coloring of the edges of a complete graph without rainbow triangles, and a Gallai $k$-coloring is a Gallai coloring that uses at most $k$ colors. Given an integer $k\ge1$ and graphs $H_1, \ldots, H_k$, the…

A graph $G$ is $q$-Ramsey for another graph $H$ if in any $q$-edge-colouring of $G$ there is a monochromatic copy of $H$, and the classic Ramsey problem asks for the minimum number of vertices in such a graph. This was broadened in the…
