The paper deals with extremal problems concerning colorings of hypergraphs. By using a random recoloring algorithm we show that any $n$-uniform simple (i.e. every two distinct edges share at most one vertex) hypergraph $H$ with maximum edge…

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…

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…

An ordered graph is a pair $\mathcal{G}=(G,\prec)$ where $G$ is a graph and $\prec$ is a total ordering of its vertices. The ordered Ramsey number $\overline{R}(\mathcal{G})$ is the minimum number $N$ such that every ordered complete graph…

Given a positive integer $k$ and graph $G$, the $\mathbb{Z}_k$-Ramsey number $R(G,\mathbb{Z}_k)$ is the least $N$ (if it exists) such that every coloring $f:E(K_N)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_k$ contains a copy $G'$ of $G$ such that $\sum_{e\in…

The $s$-colour size-Ramsey number of a hypergraph $H$ is the minimum number of edges in a hypergraph $G$ whose every $s$-edge-colouring contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. We show that the $s$-colour size-Ramsey number of the $r$-uniform…

A graph $F$ is Ramsey for a pair of graphs $(G,H)$ if any red/blue-coloring of the edges of $F$ yields a copy of $G$ with all edges colored red or a copy of $H$ with all edges colored blue. Two pairs of graphs are called Ramsey equivalent…

A graph is properly edge-colored if no two adjacent edges have the same color. The smallest number of edges in a graph any of whose proper edge colorings contains a totally multicolored copy of a graph H is the size anti-Ramsey number…
