We determine the vertex-minor Ramsey number $\Rvm(4)=11$, where $\Rvm(k)$ is the smallest~$n$ such that every $n$-vertex graph contains the edgeless graph~$E_k$ as a vertex-minor. We prove this by an exhaustive classification of the graphs…

A book $B_n$ is a graph which consists of $n$ triangles sharing a common edge. In this paper, we study Ramsey numbers of quadrilateral versus books. Previous results give the exact value of $r(C_4,B_n)$ for $1\le n\le 14$. We aim to show…

For two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ the Ramsey number $R(G_1,G_2)$ is the smallest integer $N$, such that for any graph on $N$ vertices either $G$ contains $G_1$ or $\overline{G}$ contains $G_2$. Let $S_n$ be a star of order $n$ and $W_m$ be a…

The Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every $N$-vertex $k$-graph contains either a copy of $K_s^{(k)}$ or an independent set of size $n$. A well-known conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal states that for any fixed…
