Unavoidable chromatic patterns in 2-colorings of the complete graph
Abstract
We consider unavoidable chromatic patterns in -colorings of the edges of the complete graph. Several such problems are explored being a junction point between Ramsey theory, extremal graph theory (Tur\'an type problems), zero-sum Ramsey theory, and interpolation theorems in graph theory. A role-model of these problems is the following: Let be a graph with edges. We say that is omnitonal if there exists a function such that the following holds true for sufficiently large: For any -coloring such that there are more than edges from each color, and for any pair of non-negative integers and with , there is a copy of in with exactly red edges and blue edges. We give a structural characterization of omnitonal graphs from which we deduce that omnitonal graphs are, in particular, bipartite graphs, and prove further that, for an omnitonal graph , , where depends only on . We also present a class of graphs for which , the celebrated Tur\'an numbers. Many more results and problems of similar flavor are presented.
