For any positive integers $k$ and $n$, let $B_n^{(k)}$ be the book graph consisting of $n$ copies of the complete graph $K_{k+1}$ sharing a common $K_k$. Let $C_m$ be a cycle of length $m$. Prior work by Allen, \L uczak, Polcyn, and Zhang…

A graph $G$ is called $H$-good if $R(G,H)=(|G|-1)(\chi(H)-1)+\sigma(H)$, where $\sigma(H)$ denotes the size of the smallest color class in a $\chi(H)$-coloring of $H$. In Ramsey theory, it is an interesting problem to study whether a graph…

Let $B_n^{(k)}$ be the book graph which consists of $n$ copies of $K_{k+1}$ all sharing a common $K_k$, and let $C_m$ be a cycle of length $m$. In this paper, we first determine the exact value of $r(B_n^{(2)}, C_m)$ for…

Given a pair of graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the smallest $N$ such that every red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a red copy of $G$ or a blue copy of $H$. If a graph $G$ is connected, it…

Let $r_k(C_{2m+1})$ be the $k$-color Ramsey number of an odd cycle $C_{2m+1}$ of length $2m+1$. It is shown that for each fixed $m\ge2$, \[r_k(C_{2m+1})<c^{k}\sqrt{k!}\] for all sufficiently large $k$, where $c=c(m)>0$ is a constant. This…

A book $B_n$ is a graph which consists of $n$ triangles sharing a common edge. In 1978, Rousseau and Sheehan conjectured that the Ramsey number satisfies $r(B_m,B_n)\le 2(m+n)+c$ for some constant $c>0$. In this paper, we obtain that…

Denote by $R(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ the minimum integer $N$ such that any three-colouring of the edges of the complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of a graph $G_i$ coloured with colour $i$ for some $i\in{1,2,3}$. In a…

The Ramsey number $R(F,H)$ is the minimum number $N$ such that any $N$-vertex graph either contains a copy of $F$ or its complement contains $H$. Burr in 1981 proved a pleasingly general result that for any graph $H$, provided $n$ is…

For given graphs $G_1,\ldots,G_k$, the size-Ramsey number $\hat{R}(G_1,\ldots,G_k)$ is the smallest integer $m$ for which there exists a graph $H$ on $m$ edges such that in every $k$-edge coloring of $H$ with colors $1,\ldots,k$, $ H $…

For an arbitrary graph $G$, a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called Berge-$G$ if there is a bijection $\Phi :E(G)\longrightarrow E( \mathcal{H})$ such that for each $e\in E(G)$, we have $e\subseteq \Phi (e)$. We denote by $\mathcal{B}^rG$, the…

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…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $G\to H$ signify that any red/blue edge coloring of $G$ contains a monochromatic $H$. Let $G(N,p)$ be the random graph of order $N$ and edge probability $p$. The Ramsey thresholds for fixed graphs have received…

The odd-Ramsey number $r_{{\text odd}}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$, as introduced by Alon in his work on graph-codes, is the minimum number of colours needed to edge-colour $K_n$ so that every copy of $H$ intersects some colour class in an odd…

The size-Ramsey number $\hat{R}(\mathcal{F},H)$ of a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ and a graph $H$ is the smallest integer $m$ such that there exists a graph $G$ on $m$ edges with the property that any colouring of the edges of $G$ with…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every graph $\Gamma$ on $N$ vertices contains $G$ or its complement $\overline{\Gamma}$ contains $H$ as a subgraph. In graph Ramsey theory, the…

In this paper, we prove that for every $k$ and every graph $H$ with $m$ edges and no isolated vertices, the Ramsey number $R(C_k,H)$ is at most $2m+\lfloor \frac{k-1}{2} \rfloor$, provided $m$ is sufficiently large with respect to $k$. This…

Given a positive integer $ r $, the $ r $-color size-Ramsey number of a graph $ H $, denoted by $ \hat{R}(H, r) $, is the smallest integer $ m $ for which there exists a graph $ G $ with $ m $ edges such that, in any edge coloring of $ G $…
