We consider the rainbow Schur number $RS_m(n)$, defined to be the minimum number of colors such that every coloring of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, using all $RS_m(n)$ colors, contains a rainbow solution to the equation $x_1+x_2+\cdots…
We consider vertex partitions of the binomial random graph $G_{n,p}$. For $np\to\infty$, we observe the following phenomenon: in any partition into asymptotically fewer than $\chi(G_{n,p})$ parts, i.e. $o(np/\log np)$ parts, one part must…
An edge-colored graph is called \textit{rainbow graph} if all the colors on its edges are distinct. For a given positive integer $n$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(n, \mathcal{G})$ is the smallest number of…
For $0<\delta\leq 1$, let $R_k(m;\delta)$ denote the smallest $N$ such that every coloring of $k$-element subsets by two colors yields an $m$-element set $M$ with relative discrepancy $\delta$, which means that one color class has at least…
Resolving a problem of Conlon, Fox, and R\"{o}dl, we construct a family of hypergraphs with arbitrarily large tower height separation between their $2$-colour and $q$-colour Ramsey numbers. The main lemma underlying this construction is a…
In this paper we introduce the concepts of the distinguishing number and the distinguishing chromatic number of a poset. For a distributive lattice $L$ and its set $Q_L$ of join-irreducibles, we use classic lattice theory to show that any…
Let $P$ be a partially ordered set. If the Boolean lattice $(2^{[n]},\subset)$ can be partitioned into copies of $P$ for some positive integer $n$, then $P$ must satisfy the following two trivial conditions: (1) the size of $P$ is a power…
The anti-Ramsey number, $AR(n,G)$, for a graph $G$ and an integer $n\geq|V(G)|$, is defined to be the minimal integer $r$ such that in any edge-colouring of $K_n$ by at least $r$ colours there is a multicoloured copy of $G$, namely, a copy…
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.…
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…
For $n\geq s> r\geq 1$ and $k\geq 2$, write $n \rightarrow (s)_{k}^r$ if every hyperedge colouring with $k$ colours of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices has a monochromatic subset of size $s$. Improving upon previous…
The chromatic number of the finite projective space $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,q)$, denoted $\chi_q(n)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to color its points so that no line is monochromatic. We prove subadditivity of $\chi_q(n)$ with respect…
The $r$-color size-Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, denoted by $\hat{R}_r(H)$, is the minimum number of edges in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ such that for every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ there exists a monochromatic…
Graham, R\"odl, and Ruci\'nski originally posed the problem of determining the minimum number of monochromatic Schur triples that must appear in any 2-coloring of the first $n$ integers. This question was subsequently resolved independently…
We resolve the Ramsey problem for $\{x,y,z:x+y=p(z)\}$ for all polynomials $p$ over $\mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we characterise all polynomials that are $2$-Ramsey, that is, those $p(z)$ such that any $2$-colouring of $\mathbb{N}$ contains…
An edge-colored graph is called a rainbow graph if all its edges have distinct colors. The anti-Ramsey number $ar(n, G)$, for a graph $G$ and a positive integer $n$, is defined as the minimum number of colors $r$ such that every exact…
We study quantitative aspects of the following fact: For every graph $F$, there exists a graph $G$ with the property that any $2$-coloring of the triangles of $G$ yields an induced copy of $F$, in which all triangles are monochromatic. We…
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 $H$.…
We show that for every finite colouring of the natural numbers there exists $a,b >1$ such that the triple $\{a,b,a^b\}$ is monochromatic. We go on to show the partition regularity of a much richer class of patterns involving exponentiation.…
We introduce the notions of de Bruijn polyominoes and prismatic polyominoes, which generalize the notions of de Bruijn sequences and arrays. Given a small fixed polyomino $p$ and a set of colors $[n]$, a de Bruijn polyomino for $(p,n)$ is a…
