چکیده

The Ramsey number r(H, G) is defined as the minimum N such that for any coloring of the edges of the N-vertex complete graph KN in red and blue, it must contain either a ted H or a blue G. In this paper we show that for any graph G without isolated vertices, r(K,, G)< 2qf 1 where G has q edges. In other words, any graph on 2q+ 1 vertices with independence number at most 2 contains every (isolate-free) graph on q edges. This establishes a 1980 conjecture of Harary. The result is best possible as a function of q.

The 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}.

An upper bound for the regularity of powers of edge ideals

‎A recent result due to Ha and Van Tuyl proved that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the quotient ring $R/I(G)$ is at most matching number of $G$‎, ‎denoted by match$(G)$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we provide a generalization of this result for powers of edge ideals‎. ‎More precisely‎, ‎we show that for every graph $G$ and every $sgeq 1$‎, ‎$${rm reg}( R‎/ ‎I(G)^{s})leq (2s-1) |E(G)|^{s-1} {rm ma...

A generalized upper bound solution for bimetallic rod extrusion through arbitrarily curved dies

In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the extrusion process of bimetallic rods through arbitrarily curved dies. Based on a spherical velocity field, internal, shearing and frictional power terms are calculated. The developed upper bound solution is used for calculating the extrusion force for two types of die shapes: a conical die as a linear die profile and a streamlined di...
