Saturation numbers for families of Ramsey-minimal graphs

چکیده
Given a family of graphs F , a graph G is F-saturated if no element of F is a subgraph of G, but for any edge e in G, some element of F is a subgraph of G + e. Let sat(n,F) denote the minimum number of edges in an F -saturated graph of order n. For graphs G,H1, . . . , Hk, we write that G → (H1, . . . , Hk) if every k-coloring of E(G) contains a monochromatic copy of Hi in color i for some i. A graph G is (H1, . . . , Hk)-Ramsey-minimal if G → (H1, . . . , Hk) but for any e ∈ G, (G − e) 6→ (H1, . . . , Hk). Let Rmin(H1, . . . , Hk) denote the family of (H1, . . . , Hk)-Ramseyminimal graphs. In 1987, Hanson and Toft conjectured that

All Ramsey (2K2,C4)−Minimal Graphs
Let F, G and H be non-empty graphs. The notation F → (G,H) means that if any edge of F is colored by red or blue, then either the red subgraph of F con- tains a graph G or the blue subgraph of F contains a graph H. A graph F (without isolated vertices) is called a Ramsey (G,H)−minimal if F → (G,H) and for every e ∈ E(F), (F − e) 9 (G,H). The set of all Ramsey (G,H)−minimal graphs is denoted by ...
متن کاملThe Ramsey numbers of large trees versus wheels
For two given graphs G1 and G2, the Ramseynumber R(G1,G2) is the smallest integer n such that for anygraph G of order n, either $G$ contains G1 or the complementof G contains G2. Let Tn denote a tree of order n andWm a wheel of order m+1. To the best of our knowledge, only R(Tn,Wm) with small wheels are known.In this paper, we show that R(Tn,Wm)=3n-2 for odd m with n>756m^{10}.
متن کاملRamsey-minimal saturation numbers for matchings
Given a family of graphs F , a graph G is F-saturated if no element of F is a subgraph of G, but for any edge e in G, some element of F is a subgraph of G + e. Let sat(n,F) denote the minimum number of edges in an F-saturated graph of order n, which we refer to as the saturation number or saturation function of F . If F = {F}, then we instead say that G is F -saturated and write sat(n, F ). For...
متن کاملRamsey Numbers for Partially-ordered Sets
We present a refinement of Ramsey numbers by considering graphs with a partial ordering on their vertices. This is a natural extension of the ordered Ramsey numbers. We formalize situations in which we can use arbitrary families of partially-ordered sets to form host graphs for Ramsey problems. We explore connections to well studied Turán-type problems in partially-ordered sets, particularly th...
متن کاملOn Pattern Ramsey Numbers of Graphs
A color pattern is a graph whose edges are partitioned into color classes. A family F of color patterns is a Ramsey family if there is some integer N such that every edgecoloring of KN has a copy of some pattern in F . The smallest such N is the (pattern) Ramsey number R(F ) of F . The classical Canonical Ramsey Theorem of Erdős and Rado [4] yields an easy characterization of the Ramsey familie...
