In 2001, Robertson and Schaal found the 2-color off-diagonal generalized Schur numbers: for two positive integers $k$ and $l$, they determined the smallest positive integer $S = S(k, l)$ such that for any coloring of the integers from 1 to…

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…

Consider the equation $\mathcal{E}: x_1+ \cdots+x_{k-1} =x_{k}$ and let $k$ and $r$ be positive integers such that $r\mid k$. The number $S_{\mathfrak{z},2}(k;r)$ is defined to be the least positive integer $t$ such that for any 2-coloring…

The canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for any graph $H$, any edge-coloring (with an arbitrary number of colors) of a sufficiently large complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic, lexicographic, or rainbow copy…

We show that for $m, r \in \mathbb{N}$ and $N > (2m+1)^r (r!)^{1/m}$, every $r$-coloring of the integers in the interval $[N]$ contains a monochromatic solution to the equation \[ x_1 + \dots + \dots x_{m+1} = y_1 + \dots + y_m. \] This…

We show that for non-zero integers $a$ and $b$ there is a natural number $N < \exp(r^{2+o_{a,b;r\rightarrow \infty}(1)})$ such that in any $r$-colouring of $\{1,\dots,N\}$ there are $x,y,z$, all in the same colour class, such that…

For a graph $G$, the $k$-colour Ramsey number $R_k(G)$ is the least integer $N$ such that every $k$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Let $C_n$ denote the cycle on $n$ vertices. We show…

A linear equation L is called k-regular if every k-coloring of the positive integers contains a monochromatic solution to L. Richard Rado conjectured that for every positive integer k, there exists a linear equation that is (k-1)-regular…

Kosek, Robertson, Sabo, and Schaal studied the minimum number \(M_k(n)\) of monochromatic solutions to the strict Schur inequality system $x_1\le x_2\le x_3$ and $x_1+x_2<x_3$ in \(2\)-colorings of \([k+1,k+n]\). They proved that for every…

A famous result of Rado characterises those integer matrices $A$ which are partition regular, i.e. for which any finite colouring of the positive integers gives rise to a monochromatic solution to the equation $Ax=0$. Aigner-Horev and…

A linear equation is $r$-regular, if, for every $r$-coloring of the positive integers, there exist positive integers of the same color which satisfy the equation. In 2005, Fox and Radoicic conjectured that the equation $x_1 + 2x_2 + \cdots…

Schur's Theorem states that, for any $r \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, there exists a minimum integer $S(r)$ such that every $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,\dots,S(r)\}$ admits a monochromatic solution to $x+y=z$. Recently, Budden determined the related…

The Ramsey number $R(s,t)$ is the least integer $n$ such that any coloring of the edges of $K_n$ with two colors produces either a monochromatic $K_s$ in one color or a monochromatic $K_t$ in the other. If $s=t$, we say that the Ramsey…
