We consider the integers having the property of reversing when multiplied by a specific integer k. First, we proved that k should be either 1, 4 or 9. Second, we classify these integers as (10, 1)- reverse multiples, (10, 4)- reverse…
We resolve a conjecture of Cooper-Fenner-Purewal that a certain sequence of combinatorial matrices which can be used to bound small product-Ramsey numbers is positive semidefinite. Because the connection to Ramsey Theory involves solving…
Burr and Erd\H{o}s in 1975 conjectured, and Chv\'atal, R\"odl, Szemer\'edi and Trotter later proved, that the Ramsey number of any bounded degree graph is linear in the number of vertices. In this paper, we disprove the natural directed…
In this paper, we consider a variant of Ramsey numbers which we call complementary Ramsey numbers $\bar{R}(m,t,s)$. We first establish their connections to pairs of Ramsey $(s,t)$-graphs. Using the classification of Ramsey $(s,t)$-graphs…
We propose a detailed proof of the fact that the inverse of Ackermann function is computable in linear time.
Watson proved Kirkman's hypothesis (partially solved by Cayley). Using Lagrange Inversion, we drastically shorten Watson's computations and generalize his results at the same time.
We define and develop preliminary theoretical results for the $\Gamma$-switch Ramsey number, a variation on the classical $m$-colour Ramsey number for which we allow permuting the colours incident with a vertex using elements of a group…
For two graphs, $G$ and $F$, and an integer $r\ge2$ we write $G\rightarrow (F)_r$ if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ results in a monochromatic copy of $F$. In 1995, the first two authors established a threshold edge probability for…
We give a coding based perspective, on a result of Erd\'{o}s, on a lower bound for the diagonal ramsey numbers.
The graph-theoretic Ramsey numbers are notoriously difficult to calculate. In fact, for the two-color Ramsey numbers $R(m,n)$ with $m,n\geq 3$, only nine are currently known. We present a quantum algorithm for the computation of the Ramsey…
This technical note aims at evaluating an asymptotic lower bound on abelian Ramsey lengths.
A recursive random number generator using prime reciprocals is described.
In a seminal paper from 1983, Burr and Erdos started the systematic study of Ramsey numbers of cliques vs. large sparse graphs, raising a number of problems. In this paper we develop a new approach to such Ramsey problems using a mix of the…
We obtain some new upper bounds on the Ramsey numbers of the form $R(\underbrace{C_4,\ldots,C_4}_m,G_1,\ldots,G_n)$, where $m\ge 1$ and $G_1,\ldots,G_n$ are arbitrary graphs. We focus on the cases of $G_i$'s being complete, star $K_{1,k}$…
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…
The set-colouring Ramsey number $R_{r,s}(k)$ is defined to be the minimum $n$ such that if each edge of the complete graph $K_n$ is assigned a set of $s$ colours from $\{1,\ldots,r\}$, then one of the colours contains a monochromatic clique…
Chvatal, Roedl, Szemeredi and Trotter proved that the Ramsey numbers of graphs of bounded maximum degree are linear in their order. In previous work, we proved the same result for 3-uniform hypergraphs. Here we extend this result to…
The first author introduced a sequence of polynomials (\cite{8}, sequence A174531) defined recursively. One of the main results of this study is proof of the integrality of its coefficients.
Racah and Wilson polynomials with dilated and translated argument are reparametrized such that the polynomials are continuous in the parameters as long as these are nonnegative, and such that restriction of one or more of the new parameters…
Ramsey theory is a central and active branch of combinatorics. Although Ramsey numbers for graphs have been extensively investigated since Ramsey's work in the 1930s, there is still an exponential gap between the best known lower and upper…
