On colorful edge triples in edge-colored complete graphs

Abstract

An edge-coloring of the complete graph KnK_n we call FF-caring if it leaves no FF-subgraph of KnK_n monochromatic and at the same time every subset of V(F)|V(F)| vertices contains in it at least one completely multicolored version of FF. For the first two meaningful cases, when F=K1,3F=K_{1,3} and F=P4F=P_4 we determine for infinitely many nn the minimum number of colors needed for an FF-caring edge-coloring of KnK_n. An explicit family of 2log2n2\lceil\log_2 n\rceil 33-edge-colorings of KnK_n so that every quadruple of its vertices contains a totally multicolored P4P_4 in at least one of them is also presented. Investigating related Ramsey-type problems we also show that the Shannon (OR-)capacity of the Gr\"otzsch graph is strictly larger than that of the five length cycle.
