چکیده

A set of n triangles sharing a common edge is called a book with n pages and is denoted by Bn. It is known that the Ramsey number r (Bn) satisfies r (Bn) = (4 + o (1))n. We show that every red-blue edge coloring of Kb(4−ε)nc with no monochromatic Bn exhibits quasi-random properties when ε tends to 0. This implies that there is a constant c > 0 such that for every red-blue edge coloring of Kr(Bn) there is a monochromatic Bn inducing at least ⌊ cn2 ⌋ edges of its own color. As an application we find the Ramsey number for a class of graphs.

Zarankiewicz Numbers and Bipartite Ramsey Numbers

The Zarankiewicz number z(b; s) is the maximum size of a subgraph of Kb,b which does not contain Ks,s as a subgraph. The two-color bipartite Ramsey number b(s, t) is the smallest integer b such that any coloring of the edges of Kb,b with two colors contains a Ks,s in the rst color or a Kt,t in the second color.In this work, we design and exploit a computational method for bounding and computing...

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}.

Constructive Quasi-Ramsey Numbers and Tournament Ranking

A constructive lower bound on the quasi-Ramsey numbers and the tournament ranking function was obtained in [S. Poljak, V. Rödl, and J. Spencer, SIAM J. Discrete Math., (1) 1988, pp. 372–376]. We consider the weighted versions of both problems. Our method yields a polynomial time heuristic with guaranteed lower bound for the linear ordering problem.

Book Ramsey numbers. I

A book Bp is a graph consisting of p triangles sharing a common edge. In this paper we prove that if p ≤ q/6 − o (q) and q is large then the Ramsey number r (Bp, Bq) is given by r (Bp, Bq) = 2q + 3 and the constant 1/6 is essentially best possible. Our proof is based on Szemerédi’s uniformity lemma and a stability result for books.

A note on Ramsey numbers for books

The book with n pages Bn is the graph consisting of n triangles sharing an edge. The book Ramsey number r(Bm, Bn) is the smallest integer r such that either Bm ⊂ G or Bn ⊂ G for every graph G of order r. We prove that there exists a positive constant c such that r(Bm, Bn) = 2n + 3 for all n ≥ cm.
