We obtain some new upper bounds on the Ramsey numbers of the form $R(\underbrace{C_4,\ldots,C_4}_m,G_1,\ldots,G_n)$, where $m\ge 1$ and $G_1,\ldots,G_n$ are arbitrary graphs. We focus on the cases of $G_i$'s being complete, star $K_{1,k}$…

The Ramsey number $R(C_4,K_m)$ is the smallest $n$ such that any graph on $n$ vertices contains a cycle of length four or an independent set of order $m$. With the help of computer algorithms we obtain the exact values of the Ramsey numbers…

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…

Two new bounds for multicolor Ramsey numbers are proved: $R(K_3,K_3,C_4,C_4)\geq 27$ and $R_4(C_4)\leq 19$.

The Ramsey number $R(G_1,\dots,G_k)$ is the smallest $n$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G_i$ in color $i$. Ramsey numbers are challenging to compute, and few are known exactly. We use…

Finding exact Ramsey numbers is a problem typically restricted to relatively small graphs. The flag algebra method was developed to find asymptotic results for very large graphs, so it seems that the method is not suitable for finding small…

Gy\'arf\'as, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi proved that the $2$-color Ramsey number $R(\mathcal{C}^k_n,\mathcal{C}^k_n)$ of a $k$-uniform loose cycle $\mathcal{C}^k_n$ is asymptotically $\frac{1}{2}(2k-1)n,$ generating the same result for…

Given positive integers $n$ and $k$, the book graph $B_n^{(k)}$ consists of $n$ copies of $K_{k+1}$ sharing a common $K_k$. The book graph is a common generalization of a star and a clique, which can be seen by taking $k=1$ and $n=1$…

The Ramsey number for the pair of graphs $\mathbb{K}_{1,n}$ (star) versus $W_{m}$ (wheel) has been extensively studied. In contrast, the Ramsey number of $\mathbb{K}_{2,n}$ versus the wheel is not yet explored due to the bit more structural…

Let $R(H_1,H_2)$ denote the Ramsey number for the graphs $H_1, H_2$, and let $J_k$ be $K_k{-}e$. We present algorithms which enumerate all circulant and block-circulant Ramsey graphs for different types of graphs, thereby obtaining several…

We settle the Ramsey problem $R(K_6 - e, K_4)$, also known as $R(J_6, K_4)$ and $R(K_6^-, K_4)$. Previously, the best bounds were $30 \leq R(K_6 - e, K4) \leq 32$. We prove that $R(K_6 - e, K_4) = 30$. Our technique is based on the recent…

The wheel $W_{k}$ is the graph on $k+1$ vertices consisting of a vertex joined to a cycle of length $k$, and we say that $W_k$ is an even wheel if $k$ is even. Mao, Wang, Magnant, Schiermeyer proved that the Ramsey number of $W_{2n}$ is…

In this paper, we determine the exact value of the $2$-edge-coloring Ramsey number of a connected $4$-clique matching $c(nK_4)$, which is a set of connected graphs containing an $nK_4$ is $13n-3$ for any positive integer $n \geq 3$. This is…

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 $C_4-K_{1,n}$…
