چکیده

The Ramsey number R(G,H) has been actively studied for the past 40 years, and it was determined for a large family of pairs (G,H) of graphs. The Ramsey number of paths was determined very early on, but surprisingly very little is known about the Ramsey number for the powers of paths. The r-th power P r n of a path on n vertices is obtained by joining any two vertices with distance at most r. We determine the exact value of R(P 2 n , P 2 n) for n large and discuss some related questions.

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}.

On size multipartite Ramsey numbers for stars versus paths and cycles

Let Kl×t be a complete, balanced, multipartite graph consisting of l partite sets and t vertices in each partite set. For given two graphs G1 and G2, and integer j ≥ 2, the size multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1, G2) is the smallest integer t such that every factorization of the graph Kj×t := F1 ⊕ F2 satisfies the following condition: either F1 contains G1 or F2 contains G2. In 2007, Syafrizal e...

A note on small on-line Ramsey numbers for paths and their generalization

In this note, we consider the on-line Ramsey numbers R(Pn) for paths and their generalization. The standard on-line Ramsey game is played on an unbounded set of vertices, whereas the new variant of the game we consider is the game where the number of vertices is bounded. Using a computer cluster of 80 processors, we ‘calculated’ some new values for short paths, both for the generalized on-line ...
