We give an exponential improvement to the lower bound on diagonal Ramsey numbers for any fixed number of colors greater than two.
A recent breakthrough of Conlon and Ferber yielded an exponential improvement on the lower bounds for multicolor diagonal Ramsey numbers. In this note, we modify their construction and obtain improved bounds for more than three colors.
Using cyclic graphs I give new lower bounds for two color and multicolor Ramsey numbers: R(4,16)>163, R(5,11)>170, R(5,12)>190, R(5,13)>212, R(5,14)>238, R(3,3,9)>117, R(3,3,10)>141 and R(3,3,11)>157. Improving the previous best known…
We use finite fields and extend a result of Fan Chung to give eight new, nontrivial, lower bounds.
Building upon previous works by Conlon-Ferber and Wigderson, Sawin showed a few years ago that upper bounds on the minimum density of independent sets in a $K_t$-free $G$ can be used to provide lower bounds for multicolor Ramsey numbers. In…
Computer-based attempts to construct lower bounds for small Ramsey numbers are discussed. A systematic review of cyclic Ramsey graphs is attempted. Many known lower bounds are reproduced. Several new bounds are reported.
Two new bounds for multicolor Ramsey numbers are proved: $R(K_3,K_3,C_4,C_4)\geq 27$ and $R_4(C_4)\leq 19$.
The lower bound for the classical Ramsey number R(4, 8) is improved from 56 to 58. The author has found a new edge coloring of K_{57} that has no complete graphs of order 4 in the first color, and no complete graphs of order 8 in the second…
The purpose of this survey is to provide a gentle introduction to several recent breakthroughs in graph Ramsey theory. In particular, we will outline the proofs (due to various groups of authors) of exponential improvements to the diagonal,…
The two-colour Ramsey number $R(m,n)$ is the least natural number $p$ such that any graph of order $p$ must contain either a clique of size $m$ or an independent set of size $n$. We exhibit a method for computing upper bounds for $R(m,n)$…
This paper sets out the results of a range of searches for linear and cyclic graph colourings with specific Ramsey properties. The new graphs comprise mainly 'template graphs' which can be used in a construction described by the current…
We establish new lower bounds for $28$ classical two and three color Ramsey numbers, and describe the heuristic search procedures we used. Several of the new three color bounds are derived from the two color constructions; specifically, we…
The multicolor Ramsey number problem asks, for each pair of natural numbers $\ell$ and $t$, for the largest $\ell$-coloring of a complete graph with no monochromatic clique of size $t$. Recent works of Conlon-Ferber and Wigderson have…
Ramsey's theorem, concerning the guarantee of certain monochromatic patterns in large enough edge-coloured complete graphs, is a fundamental result in combinatorial mathematics. In this work, we highlight the connection between this…
Circulant graphs have been used to effectively establish lower bounds on many classical Ramsey numbers. Here, we construct circulant graphs of prime order that sharpen the best published lower bounds on two Ramsey numbers. Generalizing…
We present a recursive algorithm for finding good lower bounds for the classical Ramsey numbers. Using notions from this algorithm we then give some results for generalized Schur numbers, which we call Issai numbers.
This article provides new lower bounds for both Schur and weak Schur numbers by exploiting a "template"-based approach. The concept of "template" is also generalized to weak Schur numbers. Finding new templates leads to explicit partitions…
The known lower bound for the the classical Ramsey number $R(5,6)$ is improved from $58$ to $59$. The method used to construct the graph is a simple variant of computational methods that have been previously used to construct Ramsey graphs.…
In a recent breakthrough Campos, Griffiths, Morris and Sahasrabudhe obtained the first exponential improvement of the upper bound on the diagonal Ramsey numbers since 1935. We shorten their proof, replacing the underlying book algorithm…
We estimate Ramsey numbers for bipartite graphs with small bandwidth and bounded maximum degree. In particular we determine asymptotically the two and three color Ramsey numbers for grid graphs. More generally, we determine asymptotically…
