The $n$-star $S_n$ is the $n$-vertex triple system with ${n-1 \choose 2}$ edges all of which contain a fixed vertex, and $K_4^-$ is the unique triple system with four vertices and three edges. We prove that the Ramsey number $r(K_4^-, S_n)$…

Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two given graphs. The Ramsey number $R(G_1,G_2)$ is the least integer $r$ such that for every graph $G$ on $r$ vertices, either $G$ contains a $G_1$ or $\overline{G}$ contains a $G_2$. Parsons gave a recursive formula…

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…

Let t be an integer, f(n) a function, and H a graph. Define the t-Ramsey-Tur\'an number of H, RT_t(n, H, f(n)), to be the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex, H-free graph G where f(n) is larger than the maximum number of vertices in a…

The generalized Ramsey number $R(G_1, G_2)$ is the smallest positive integer $N$ such that any red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ either contains a red copy of $G_1$ or a blue copy of $G_2$. Let $C_m$ denote a cycle…

Let $R_h(k; \ell)$ be the smallest integer $n$ such that any edge coloring of a complete graph on $n$ vertices in $\ell$ colors results in a monochromatic $K_k$-minor, in other words, a graph with Hadwiger number $k$, i.e., a graph that…

For a given pair of two graphs $(F,H)$, let $R(F,H)$ be the smallest positive integer $r$ such that for any graph $G$ of order $r$, either $G$ contains $F$ as a subgraph or the complement of $G$ contains $H$ as a subgraph. Baskoro, Broersma…

Let $n,s,$ and $k$ be positive integers such that $k\geq 3$, $s\geq 3$ and $n\geq ks$. An $s$-matching $M_s$ in a $k$-uniform hypergraph is a set of $s$ pairwise disjoint edges. The anti-Ramsey number $\textrm{ar}(n,k,M_s)$ of an…

The Ramsey number $R(s, t)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that every graph on $n$ vertices contains either a clique of size $s$ or an independent set of size $t$. An $R(s,t)$-critical graph is a graph on $R(s,t)-1$ vertices that…

A question of Erd\H{o}s asks if for every pair of positive integers $r$ and $k$, there exists a graph $H$ having $\textrm{girth}(H)=k$ and the property that every $r$-colouring of the edges of $H$ yields a monochromatic cycle $C_k$. The…

The upper (mixed) domination Ramsey number $u(m, n)$($v(m,n)$) is the smallest integer $p$ such that every $2$-coloring of the edges of $K_p$ with color red and blue, $\Gamma(B) \geq m$ or $\Gamma(R) \geq n$ ($\beta(R) \geq n$); where $B$…

A fundamental problem in Ramsey theory is to determine the growth rate in terms of $n$ of the Ramsey number $r(H, K_n^{(3)})$ of a fixed $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ versus the complete $3$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices. We study this…

An edge-ordered graph is a graph with a linear ordering of its edges. Two edge-ordered graphs are equivalent if their is an isomorphism between them preserving the ordering of the edges. The edge-ordered Ramsey number $r_{edge}(H; q)$ of an…

One of the classical topics in graph Ramsey theory is the study of which $n$-vertex graphs have Ramsey numbers that are linear in $n$. In this paper, we consider this problem in the context of directed graphs. The oriented Ramsey number of…

Assume that $K_{j\times n}$ be a complete, multipartite graph consisting of $j$ partite sets and $n$ vertices in each partite set. For given graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the multipartite Ramsey number (M-R-number) $m_j(G_1, G_2)$ is the smallest…
