Suppose that $\mathbb{N}$ is $2$-coloured. Then there are infinitely many monochromatic solutions to $x + y = z^2$. On the other hand, there is a $3$-colouring of $\mathbb{N}$ with only finitely many monochromatic solutions to this…

We study the number of monochromatic solutions to linear equations in a $2$-coloring of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. We show that any nontrivial linear equation has a constant fraction of solutions that are monochromatic in any $2$-coloring of…

The following question was asked by Prendiville: given an $r$-colouring of the interval $\{2, \dotsc, N\}$, what is the minimum number of monochromatic solutions of the equation $xy = z$? For $r=2$, we show that there are always…

We show that for $m, r \in \mathbb{N}$ and $N > (2m+1)^r (r!)^{1/m}$, every $r$-coloring of the integers in the interval $[N]$ contains a monochromatic solution to the equation \[ x_1 + \dots + \dots x_{m+1} = y_1 + \dots + y_m. \] This…

Let $r$ be a sufficiently large positive integer, and let $N \ge \exp\exp(r^{50})$. Then any $r$-colouring of $[N]$ contains a monochromatic copy of $\{x+y,xy\}$ with $x > y > 2$.

The solution to the problem of finding the minimum number of monochromatic triples $(x,y,x+ay)$ with $a\geq 2$ being a fixed positive integer over any 2-coloring of $[1,n]$ was conjectured by Butler, Costello, and Graham (2010) and…

In this paper we prove that for any finite coloring of N there are lambda,rho in N such that infinitely many pairs (x,y),(u,v) in N^2 satisfy the sets {lambda x, lambda y, x y, lambda(x+y)} and {u+rho, v+rho, u v+rho, u+v} being…

We show that any $2$-coloring of $\mathbb{N}$ contains infinitely many monochromatic sets of the form $\{x,y,xy,x+y\},$ and more generally monochromatic sets of the form $\{x_i,\prod x_i,\sum x_i: i\leq k\}$ for any $k\in\mathbb{N}.$ Along…

There exists a minimum integer $N$ such that any 2-coloring of $\{1,2,...,N\}$ admits a monochromatic solution to $x+y+kz =\ell w$ for $k,\ell \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, where $N$ depends on $k$ and $\ell$. We determine $N$ when $\ell-k \in…

We observe that an old theorem of Graham implies that for any positive integer $s$, there exists some positive integer $T(s)$ such that every $s$-colouring of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ contains a monochromatic pair of points $(x,y),(x',y')$ with…

An old question in Ramsey theory asks whether any finite coloring of the natural numbers admits a monochromatic pair $\{x+y,xy\}$. We answer this question affirmatively in a strong sense by exhibiting a large new class of non-linear…

Suppose that each number $1,2,...,N$ has one of n colours assigned. We show that if there are no monochromatic solutions to the equation $x_1+x_2+x_3=y_1+y_2$, then $N=O((n!)^{1/2})$, improving upon a result of Cwalina and Schoen. Further,…

Kosek, Robertson, Sabo, and Schaal studied the minimum number \(M_k(n)\) of monochromatic solutions to the strict Schur inequality system $x_1\le x_2\le x_3$ and $x_1+x_2<x_3$ in \(2\)-colorings of \([k+1,k+n]\). They proved that for every…

We show that for every coloring of the rationals into finitely many colors, one of the colors contains a set of the form $\{x,y,xy,x+y\}$ for some nonzero $x$ and $y$.

Li, Nikiforov and Schelp conjectured that a 2-edge coloured graph G with order n and minimal degree strictly greater than 3n/4 contains a monochromatic cycle of length l, for all l at least four and at most n/2. We prove this conjecture for…

For $k \in \mathbb{N}$, write $S(k)$ for the largest natural number such that there is a $k$-colouring of $\{1,\dots,S(k)\}$ with no monochromatic solution to $x-y=z^2$. That $S(k)$ exists is a result of Bergelson, and a simple example…

We solve four similar problems: For every fixed $s$ and large $n$, we describe all values of $n_1,\ldots,n_s$ such that for every $2$-edge-coloring of the complete $s$-partite graph $K_{n_1,\ldots,n_s}$ there exists a monochromatic (i)…

N. Hindman, I. Leader and D. Strauss proved that it is consistent that there is a finite colouring of $\mathbb R$ so that no infinite sumset $X+X=\{x+y:x,y\in X\}$ is monochromatic. Our aim in this paper is to prove a consistency result in…

In this paper, we study a Ramsey-type problem for equations of the form $ax+by=p(z)$. We show that if certain technical assumptions hold, then any 2-colouring of the positive integers admits infinitely many monochromatic solutions to the…

We show the existence of several infinite monochromatic patterns in the integers obtained as values of suitable symmetric polynomials. The simplest example is the following. For every finite coloring of the natural numbers…
