In this short note, we provide a new infinite family of $K_{2, t+1}$-free graphs for each prime power $t$. Using these graphs, we show that it is possible to partition the edges of $K_n$ into parts, such that each part is isomorphic to our…

A k-ary semi-algebraic relation E on R^d is a subset of R^{kd}, the set of k-tuples of points in R^d, which is determined by a finite number of polynomial equations and inequalities in kd real variables. The description complexity of such a…

Let $F_n$, $W_n$, and $\widehat{K}_n$ be the graphs obtained by joining a vertex to $n$ independent edges, a cycle and a path of order $n-1$, respectively. In this paper, we give new bounds for the Ramsey numbers $R(F_n,F_m)$ and…

Let $K\_{[k,t]}$ be the complete graph on $k$ vertices from which a set of edges, induced by a clique of order $t$, has been dropped. In this note we give two explicit upper bounds for $R(K\_{[k\_1,t\_1]},\dots, K\_{[k\_r,t\_r]})$ (the…

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…

We investigate the Ramsey numbers $r(I_m, L_n)$ which is the minimal natural number $k$ such that every oriented graph on $k$ vertices contains either an independent set of size $m$ or a transitive tournament on $n$ vertices. Apart from the…

The Ramsey number $R(k)$ is the minimum $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every red-blue colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $K_k$. We prove that \[ R(k) \leqslant (4 -…

In this article we give the generalized triangle Ramsey numbers R(K3,G) of 12 005 158 of the 12 005 168 graphs of order 10. There are 10 graphs remaining for which we could not determine the Ramsey number. Most likely these graphs need…

The $r$-colour Ramsey number $R_r(k)$ is the minimum $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every $r$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $K_k$. We prove, for each fixed $r \geqslant 2$,…

We improve the upper bound on the Ramsey number $R(5,5)$ from $R(5,5) \le 49$ to $R(5,5) \le 48$. We also complete the catalogue of extremal graphs for $R(4,5)$.

Set multipartite Ramsey numbers were introduced in 2004, ge-neralizing the celebrated Ramsey numbers. Let $C_4$ denote the four cycle and let $K_{1,n}$ denote the star on $n+1$ vertices. In this paper we investigate bounds on $C_4-K_{1,n}$…

We prove a new lower bound for the off-diagonal Ramsey numbers, \[ R(3,k) \geq \bigg( \frac{1}{3}+ o(1) \bigg) \frac{k^2}{\log k }\, , \] thereby narrowing the gap between the upper and lower bounds to a factor of $3+o(1)$. This improves…

We consider following geometric Ramsey problem: find the least dimension $n$ such that for any 2-coloring of edges of complete graph on the points $\{\pm 1\}^n$ there exists 4-vertex coplanar monochromatic clique. Problem was first analyzed…

Let $f(n,p,q)$ denote the minimum number of colors needed to color the edges of $K_n$ so that every copy of $K_p$ receives at least $q$ distinct colors. In this note, we show $\frac{6}{7}(n-1) \leq f(n,5,8) \leq n + o(n)$. The upper bound…

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…

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…

We define the $r\textit{-Kneser Ramsey number}$ $R^{\textrm{KG}}_{r}(s, t)$ as the minimum integer $n$ such that every red/blue edge-coloring of the Kneser graph $\textrm{KG}(n,r)$ contains a red $s$-clique or a blue $t$-clique. We obtain…

We present an essentially tight bound for the Ramsey-Tur\'an problem for 4-cliques without using the Regularity lemma. This enables us to substantially extend the range in which one has the tight bound for the number of edges in $K_4$-free…

For two graphs $G,H$ and a positive integer $k$, the \emph{Gallai-Ramsey number} $\operatorname{gr}_k(G,H)$ is defined as the minimum number of vertices $n$ such that any $k$-edge-coloring of $K_n$ contains either a rainbow (all different…

The Ramsey numbers $R(T_n,W_8)$ are determined for each tree graph $T_n$ of order $n\geq 7$ and maximum degree $\Delta(T_n)$ equal to either $n-4$ or $n-5$. These numbers indicate strong support for the conjecture, due to Chen, Zhang and…
