For two graphs $G$ and $H$, let $r(G,H)$ and $r_*(G,H)$ denote the Ramsey number and star-critical Ramsey number of $G$ versus $H$, respectively. In 1996, Li and Rousseau proved that $r(K_{m},F_{t,n})=tn(m-1)+1$ for $m\geq 3$ and…

Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the Ramsey number $r(G_1,G_2)$ refers to the smallest positive integer $N$ such that any graph $G$ with $N$ vertices contains $G_1$ as a subgraph, or the complement of $G$ contains $G_2$ as a subgraph. A…

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…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the smallest $r$ such that any red-blue edge coloring of $K_r$ contains a red $G$ or a blue $H$. The path-critical Ramsey number $R_{\pi}(G,H)$ is the largest $n$ such that any red-blue…

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…

In this paper we prove several results on Ramsey numbers $R(H,F)$ for a fixed graph $H$ and a large graph $F$, in particular for $F = K_n$. These results extend earlier work of Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp and of Balister, Schelp…

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…

Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ and a set of $k$-uniform hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$, the generalized Ramsey number $f(G,\mathcal{H},q)$ is the minimum number of colors needed to edge-color $G$ so that every copy of every hypergraph $H\in…

The Ramsey number r(H) of a graph H is the smallest number n such that, in any two-colouring of the edges of K_n, there is a monochromatic copy of H. We study the Ramsey number of graphs H with t vertices and density \r, proving that r(H)…

We give a short proof that any k-uniform hypergraph H on n vertices with bounded degree \Delta has Ramsey number at most c(\Delta, k)n, for an appropriate constant c(\Delta, k). This result was recently proved by several authors, but those…

Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the Ramsey number $R(G_1,G_2)$ denotes the smallest integer $N$ such that any red-blue coloring of the edges of $K_N$ contains either a red $G_1$ or a blue $G_2$. Let $G_1$ be a graph with chromatic number…

We obtain some new upper bounds on the Ramsey numbers of the form $R(\underbrace{C_4,\ldots,C_4}_m,G_1,\ldots,G_n)$, where $m\ge 1$ and $G_1,\ldots,G_n$ are arbitrary graphs. We focus on the cases of $G_i$'s being complete, star $K_{1,k}$…
