For given simple graphs $G_1, G_2, \ldots , G_t$, the Ramsey number $R(G_1, G_2, \ldots, G_t)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that if the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ are partitioned into $t$ disjoint color classes giving…

Let $r,\ell\geq2$ be integers. Given $r$-graphs $G$ and $F_1,\dots,F_\ell$, we write $G\to(F_1,\dots,F_\ell)$ if every $\ell$-edge-coloring of $G$ yields a monochromatic copy of $F_i$ in the $i$th color for some $1\leq i\leq\ell$, otherwise…

For positive integers $n, m$, the double star $S(n,m)$ is the graph consisting of the disjoint union of two stars $K_{1,n}$ and $K_{1,m}$ together with an edge joining their centers. Finding monochromatic copies of double stars in…

We introduce and study a variant of Ramsey numbers for edge-ordered graphs, that is, graphs with linearly ordered sets of edges. The edge-ordered Ramsey number $\overline{R}_e(\mathfrak{G})$ of an edge-ordered graph $\mathfrak{G}$ is the…

A graph $G$ is $q$-Ramsey for another graph $H$ if in any $q$-edge-colouring of $G$ there is a monochromatic copy of $H$, and the classic Ramsey problem asks for the minimum number of vertices in such a graph. This was broadened in the…

The classical recursive upper bound on hypergraph Ramsey numbers due to Erd\H{o}s and Rado states that for $2 \leq k < s \leq t$, \[ r_k(s,t) \leq 2^{\binom{r_{k-1}(s-1,t-1)}{k-1}}. \] In 2010, Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov introduced the…

For given simple graphs $H_1,H_2,\dots,H_c$, the multicolor Ramsey number $R(H_1,H_2,\dots,H_c)$ is defined as the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for an arbitrary edge-decomposition $\{G_i\}^c_{i=1}$ of the complete graph $K_n$, at…

We show that the class of finite rooted binary plane trees is a Ramsey class (with respect to topological embeddings that map leaves to leaves). That is, for all such trees P,H and every natural number k there exists a tree T such that for…

We show that, for $n$ large, there must exist at least \[\frac{n^t}{C^{(1+o(1))t^2}}\] monochromatic $K_t$s in any two-colouring of the edges of $K_n$, where $C \approx 2.18$ is an explicitly defined constant. The old lower bound, due to…

We prove the Erd\H os--S\'os conjecture for trees with bounded maximum degree and large dense host graphs. As a corollary, we obtain an upper bound on the multicolour Ramsey number of large trees whose maximum degree is bounded by a…

The size Ramsey number of a graph $H$ is defined as the minimum number of edges in a graph $G$ such that there is a monochromatic copy of $H$ in every two-coloring of $E(G)$. The size Ramsey number was introduced by Erd\H{o}s, Faudree,…
