A graph is $(t_1, t_2)$-Ramsey if any red-blue coloring of its edges contains either a red copy of $K_{t_1}$ or a blue copy of $K_{t_2}$. The size Ramsey number is the minimum number of edges contained in a $(t_1,t_2)$-Ramsey graph.…

In this note we consider a Ramsey type result for partially ordered sets. In particular, we give an alternative short proof of a theorem for a posets with multiple linear extensions recently obtained by Solecki and Zhao.

The weighted Ramsey number, ${\rm wR}(n,k)$, is the minimum $q$ such that there is an assignment of nonnegative real numbers (weights) to the edges of $K_n$ with the total sum of the weights equal to ${n\choose 2}$ and there is a Red/Blue…

The size Ramsey number $\hat{r}(F)$ of a graph $F$ 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 two colours yields a monochromatic copy of $F$. In…

Given a finite poset $\mathcal P$, we say that a family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of $[n]$ is $\mathcal P$-saturated if $\mathcal F$ does not contain an induced copy of $\mathcal P$, but adding any other set to $\mathcal F$ creates an induced…

We say that a subset $M$ of $\mathbb R^n$ is exponentially Ramsey if there are $\epsilon>0$ and $n_0$ such that $\chi(\mathbb R^n,M)\ge(1+\epsilon)^n$ for any $n>n_0$, where $\chi(\mathbb R^n,M)$ stands for the minimum number of colors in a…
