A book $B_n$ is a graph which consists of $n$ triangles sharing a common edge. In 1978, Rousseau and Sheehan conjectured that the Ramsey number satisfies $r(B_m,B_n)\le 2(m+n)+c$ for some constant $c>0$. In this paper, we obtain that…

We show that in every two-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ there is a monochromatic $K_k$ which can be extended in at least $(1 + o_k(1))2^{-k}N$ ways to a monochromatic $K_{k+1}$. This result is asymptotically best…

The \emph{book graph} of order $(n+2)$, denoted by $B_{n}$, is the graph with $n$ distinct copies of triangles sharing a common edge called the `base'. A cycle of order $m$ is denoted by $C_{m}$. A lot of studies have been done in recent…

Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s et al. determined the asymptotic value of the diagonal Ramsey number of $\mathcal{C}^k_n$, $R(\mathcal{C}^k_n,\mathcal{C}^k_n),$ generating the same result for $k=3$ due to Haxell et al. Recently, the exact values of the…

Let $C_{n}$ be a cycle of length $n$. As an application of Szemer\'{e}di's regularity lemma, {\L}uczak ($R(C_n,C_n,C_n)\leq (4+o(1))n$, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 75 (1999), 174--187) in fact established that…

The book graph $B_n^{(k)}$ consists of $n$ copies of $K_{k+1}$ joined along a common $K_k$. The Ramsey numbers of $B_n^{(k)}$ are known to have strong connections to the classical Ramsey numbers of cliques. Recently, the first author…

Given positive integers $n$ and $k$, the book graph $B_n^{(k)}$ consists of $n$ copies of $K_{k+1}$ sharing a common $K_k$. The book graph is a common generalization of a star and a clique, which can be seen by taking $k=1$ and $n=1$…

Let $r_k(C_{2m+1})$ be the $k$-color Ramsey number of an odd cycle $C_{2m+1}$ of length $2m+1$. It is shown that for each fixed $m\ge2$, \[r_k(C_{2m+1})<c^{k}\sqrt{k!}\] for all sufficiently large $k$, where $c=c(m)>0$ is a constant. This…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $G\to H$ signify that any red/blue edge coloring of $G$ contains a monochromatic $H$. Let $G(N,p)$ be the random graph of order $N$ and edge probability $p$. The Ramsey thresholds for fixed graphs have received…

A book $B_n$ is a graph which consists of $n$ triangles sharing a common edge. In this paper, we study Ramsey numbers of quadrilateral versus books. Previous results give the exact value of $r(C_4,B_n)$ for $1\le n\le 14$. We aim to show…

Recently, determining the Ramsey numbers of loose paths and cycles in uniform hypergraphs has received considerable attention. It has been shown that the $2$-color Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform loose cycle $\mathcal{C}^k_n$,…

In this paper, we prove that for every $k$ and every graph $H$ with $m$ edges and no isolated vertices, the Ramsey number $R(C_k,H)$ is at most $2m+\lfloor \frac{k-1}{2} \rfloor$, provided $m$ is sufficiently large with respect to $k$. This…

We find the exact value of the Ramsey number $R(C_{2\ell},K_{1,n})$, when $\ell$ and $n=O(\ell^{10/9})$ are large. Our result is closely related to the behaviour of Tur\'an number $ex(N, C_{2\ell})$ for an even cycle whose length grows…

We determine the $2$-color Ramsey number of a {\em connected} triangle matching $c(nK_3)$ which is any connected graph containing $n$ vertex disjoint triangles. We obtain that $R(c(nK_3),c(nK_3))=7n-2$, somewhat larger than in the classical…

Burr, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp initiated the study of Ramsey numbers of trees versus odd cycles, proving that $R(T_n, C_m) = 2n - 1$ for all odd $m \ge 3$ and $n \ge 756m^{10}$, where $T_n$ is a tree with $n$ vertices and…
