The Ramsey number $r(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum $n$ such that any two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The threshold Ramsey multiplicity $m(H)$ is then the minimum number of…

In this paper we introduce a general framework for proving lower bounds for various Ramsey type problems within random settings. The main idea is to view the problem from an algorithmic perspective: we aim at providing an algorithm that…

We prove new upper bounds on the multicolour Ramsey numbers of paths and even cycles. It is well known that $(k-1)n+o(n)\leq R_k(P_n)\leq R_k(C_n)\leq kn+o(n)$. The upper bound was recently improved by S\'ark\"ozy who showed that…

We study a quantitative Ramsey-type problem on 3-term arithmetic progressions: how should the set of integers $[n] = \{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ be colored using 3 colors in order to maximize the number of rainbow 3-term arithmetic progressions? By…

For a graph $H$ and an integer $n$, we let $nH$ denote the disjoint union of $n$ copies of $H$. In 1975, Burr, Erd\H{o}s, and Spencer initiated the study of Ramsey numbers for $nH$, one of few instances for which Ramsey numbers are now…

It is observed that the conjugacy growth series of the infinite finitary symmetric group with respect to the generating set of transpositions is the generating series of the partition function. Other conjugacy growth series are computed,…

In this paper, we contribute to the study of topological partition relations for pairs of countable ordinals and prove that, for all integers $n \geq 3$, \begin{align*} R^{cl}(\omega+n,3) &\geq \omega^2 \cdot n + \omega \cdot (R(n,3)-n)+n\\…

A Gallai $k$-coloring is a $k$-edge coloring of a complete graph in which there are no rainbow triangles. For two given graphs $H, G$ and two positive integers $k,s$ with that $s\leq k$, the $k$-colored Gallai-Ramsey number $gr_{k}(K_{3}:…

We present an essentially tight bound for the Ramsey-Tur\'an problem for 4-cliques without using the Regularity lemma. This enables us to substantially extend the range in which one has the tight bound for the number of edges in $K_4$-free…

In this paper, for sufficiently large $n$ we determine the Ramsey number $R(G,nH)$ where $G$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph with the maximum independent set that intersects each of the edges in $k-1$ vertices and $H$ is a $k$-uniform…

A Gallai coloring is a coloring of the edges of a complete graph without rainbow triangles, and a Gallai $k$-coloring is a Gallai coloring that uses at most $k$ colors. For an integer $k\geq 1$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $GR_k(H)$ of a given…

Let $a_1, ..., a_s$ be positive integers. For a graph $G$ the expression $$ G \overset{v}{\rightarrow} (a_1, ..., a_s) $$ means that for every coloring of the vertices of $G$ in $s$ colors ($s$-coloring) there exists $i \in \{1, ..., s\}$,…

An $L(2,1)$-labelling of a finite graph $\Gamma$ is a function that assigns integer values to the vertices $V(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$ (colouring of $V(\Gamma)$ by ${\mathbb{Z}}$) so that the absolute difference of two such values is at least…

The classical Ramsey numbers $r(s,t)$ denote the minimum $n$ such that every red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ contains either a red clique of order $s$ or a blue clique of order $t$. These quantities are the…

For a graph G=(V,E), a hypergraph H is called Berge-G if there is a bijection f from E(G) to E(H) such that for each e in E(G), e is a subset of f(e). The set of all Berge-G hypergraphs is denoted B(G). For integers k>1, r>1, and a graph G,…

Given graphs $F,H$ and $G$, we say that $G$ is $(F,H)_v$-Ramsey if every red/blue vertex colouring of $G$ contains a red copy of $F$ or a blue copy of $H$. Results of {\L}uczak, Ruci\'nski and Voigt and, subsequently, Kreuter determine the…

In this note, we investigate for various pairs of graphs $(H,G)$ the question of how many random edges must be added to a dense graph to guarantee that any red-blue coloring of the edges contains a red copy of $H$ or a blue copy of $G$. We…
