A graph G is r-Ramsey for a graph H, denoted by G\rightarrow (H)_r, if every r-colouring of the edges of G contains a monochromatic copy of H. The graph G is called r-Ramsey-minimal for H if it is r-Ramsey for H but no proper subgraph of G…

Let $R(C_n)$ be the Ramsey number of the cycle on $n$ vertices. We prove that, for some $C > 0$, with high probability every $2$-colouring of the edges of $G(N,p)$ has a monochromatic copy of $C_n$, as long as $N\geq R(C_n) + C/p$ and $p…

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…

The generalized Ramsey number $f(n, p, q)$ is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ so that every $p$-clique spans at least $q$ colors. Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'arf\'as showed that $f(n, p, q)$ grows…

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…

In [5] Graham and Rothschild consider a geometric Ramsey problem: finding the least n such that if all edges of the complete graph on the points {+1,-1}^n are 2-colored, there exist 4 coplanar points such that the 6 edges between them are…

Using cyclic graphs I give new lower bounds for two color and multicolor Ramsey numbers: R(4,16)>163, R(5,11)>170, R(5,12)>190, R(5,13)>212, R(5,14)>238, R(3,3,9)>117, R(3,3,10)>141 and R(3,3,11)>157. Improving the previous best known…

A $\rho$-mean coloring of a graph is a coloring of the edges such that the average number of colors incident with each vertex is at most $\rho$. For a graph $H$ and for $\rho \geq 1$, the {\em mean Ramsey-Tur\'an number} $RT(n,H,\rho-mean)$…

A Gallai $k$-coloring is a $k$-edge coloring of a complete graph in which there are no rainbow triangles. For given graphs $G_1, G_2, G_3$ and nonnegative integers $r, s, t$ with that $k=r+s+t$, the $k$-colored Gallai-Ramsey number…
