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…

A famous result in arithmetic Ramsey theory says that for many linear homogeneous equations $E$ there is a threshold value $R_k(E)$ (the Rado number of $E$) such that for any $k$-coloring of the integers in the interval $[1,n]$, with $n \ge…

Let $f_r(k)$ be the smallest positive integer $n$ such that every $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,...,n\}$ has a monochromatic solution to the nonlinear equation \[1/x_1+\cdots+1/x_k=1/y,\] where $x_1,...,x_k$ are not necessarily distinct. Brown and…

We discuss a problem posed by Ronald Graham about the minimum number, over all 2-colorings of $[1,n]$, of monochromatic $\{x,y,x+ay\}$ triples for $a \geq 1$. We give a new proof of the original case of $a=1$. We show that the minimum…

We prove that the minimum number (asymptotically) of monochromatic Schur triples that a 2-coloring of [1,n] can have is (n^2)/22 + O(n). This was solved independently by Tomasz Schoen.

We derive exact and sharp lower bounds for the number of monochromatic generalized Schur triples $(x,y,x+ay)$ whose entries are from the set $\{1,\dots,n\}$, subject to a coloring with two different colors. Previously, only asymptotic…

Graham, R\"odl, and Ruci\'nski originally posed the problem of determining the minimum number of monochromatic Schur triples that must appear in any 2-coloring of the first $n$ integers. This question was subsequently resolved independently…

Schur's Theorem states that, for any $r \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, there exists a minimum integer $S(r)$ such that every $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,\dots,S(r)\}$ admits a monochromatic solution to $x+y=z$. Recently, Budden determined the related…

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,…

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…

A standard proof of Schur's Theorem yields that any $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,\dots,R_r-1\}$ yields a monochromatic solution to $x+y=z$, where $R_r$ is the classical $r$-color Ramsey number, the minimum $N$ such that any $r$-coloring of a…

Schur's theorem states that in any $k$-colouring of the set of integers $[n]$ there is a monochromatic solution to $a+b=c$, provided $n$ is sufficiently large. Abbott and Wang studied the size of the largest subset of $[n]$ such that there…

In 2001, Robertson and Schaal found the 2-color off-diagonal generalized Schur numbers: for two positive integers $k$ and $l$, they determined the smallest positive integer $S = S(k, l)$ such that for any coloring of the integers from 1 to…

We show that if $N \geq \exp(\exp(\exp (k^{O(1)})))$, then any $k$-colouring of the primes that are less than $N$ contains a monochromatic solution to $p_1 - p_2 = p_3 -1$.

Consider the equation $\mathcal{E}: x_1+ \cdots+x_{k-1} =x_{k}$ and let $k$ and $r$ be positive integers such that $r\mid k$. The number $S_{\mathfrak{z},2}(k;r)$ is defined to be the least positive integer $t$ such that for any 2-coloring…

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…

The $r$-colour Ramsey number $R_r(k)$ is the minimum $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every $r$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $K_k$. We prove, for each fixed $r \geqslant 2$,…

Let V(n) be the minimum number of monochromatic 3-term arithmetic progressions in any 2-coloring of {1,2,...,n}. We show that (1675/32768) n^2 (1+o(1)) <= V(n) <= (117/2192) n^2(1+o(1)). As a consequence, we find that V(n) is strictly…

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 consider the rainbow Schur number $RS_m(n)$, defined to be the minimum number of colors such that every coloring of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, using all $RS_m(n)$ colors, contains a rainbow solution to the equation $x_1+x_2+\cdots…
