Our aim in this paper is to show that, for any $k$, there is a finite colouring of the set of rationals whose denominators contain only the first $k$ primes such that no infinite set has all of its finite sums and products monochromatic. We…

The (weak) chromatic number of a hypergraph $H$, denoted by $\chi(H)$, is the smallest number of colors required to color the vertices of $H$ so that no hyperedge of $H$ is monochromatic. For every $2\le k\le d+1$, denote by $\chi_L(k,d)$…

For any graph $G$, the Grundy (or First-Fit) chromatic number of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma(G)$ (also $\chi_{_{\sf FF}}(G)$), is defined as the maximum number of colors used by the First-Fit (greedy) coloring of the vertices of $G$.…

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…

A finite or infinite matrix $A$ with rational entries (and only finitely many non-zero entries in each row) is called image partition regular if, whenever the natural numbers are finitely coloured, there is a vector $x$, with entries in the…

We show that if $P$ is a lattice polytope in the nonnegative orthant of $\R^k$ and $\chi$ is a coloring of the lattice points in the orthant such that the color $\chi(a+b)$ depends only on the colors $\chi(a)$ and $\chi(b)$, then the number…

Let H_1, ..., H_k be graphs. The multicolor Ramsey number r(H_1,...,H_k) is the minimum integer r such that in every edge-coloring of K_r by k colors, there is a monochromatic copy of H_i in color i for some 1 <= i <= k. In this paper, we…

This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…

For graphs $G^<$ and $H^<$ with linearly ordered vertex sets, the \ordered Ramsey number $r_<(G^<,H^<)$ is the smallest positive integer $N$ such that any red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete ordered graph $K^<_N$ on $N$ vertices…

A recent question in generalized Ramsey theory is that for fixed positive integers $s\leq t$, at least how many vertices can be covered by the vertices of no more than $s$ monochromatic members of the family $\cal F$ in every edge coloring…

We show that for any positive integer $r$ there exists an integer $k$ and a $k$-colouring of the edges of $K_{2^{k}+1}$ with no monochromatic odd cycle of length less than $r$. This makes progress on a problem of Erd\H{o}s and Graham and…

Ramsey's theorem, concerning the guarantee of certain monochromatic patterns in large enough edge-coloured complete graphs, is a fundamental result in combinatorial mathematics. In this work, we highlight the connection between this…

The Ramsey number $R(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for all 3-colorings of the edges of $K_n$ there is a monochromatic $G_1$ in the first color, $G_2$ in the second color, or $G_3$ in the third color. We…

Let $r$ be a sufficiently large positive integer, and let $N \ge \exp\exp(r^{50})$. Then any $r$-colouring of $[N]$ contains a monochromatic copy of $\{x+y,xy\}$ with $x > y > 2$.

Let F(X) be the set of finite nonempty subsets of a set X. We have found the necessary and sufficient conditions under which for a given function f:F(X)-->R there is an ultrametric on X such that f(A)=diam A for every A\in F(X). For finite…

We study a restricted form of list colouring, for which every pair of lists that correspond to adjacent vertices may not share more than one colour. The optimal list size such that a proper list colouring is always possible given this…

We define a one-parameter family of entropies, each assigning a real number to any probability measure on a compact metric space (or, more generally, a compact Hausdorff space with a notion of similarity between points). These entropies…

We consider natural generalization of plane chromatic number problem. We consider chromatic numbers $\chi$ of spaces $\mathbb{R}^n \times [0,\varepsilon]^k$ for arbitrary small $\varepsilon$. We prove that $5 \leq\chi(\mathbb{R}^2\times…

We present an explicit family of hypergraphs with arbitrarily large uniformity and chromatic number that admit realizations in both geometric and number-theoretic settings. As an application, we give a new proof of a theorem of Chen, Pach,…
