چکیده

The Ramsey number R(Cn or Kn1 , Km) is the smallest integer p such that every graph G on p vertices contains either a cycle en with length n or a K n 1 , or an independent set of order m. In this paper we prove that R(Cn or K n b K 3 ) = 2(n 2) + 1 (n 2: 5), R(Cn or K n 1 , K4) = 3(n 2) + 1 (n 2: 7). In particular, we prove that R(C4 or K 3 , K 3 ) = 6, R(C4 or K 3 , K4) = 8, R(C5 or K4, K 4 ) = 11 and R(C6 or K 5 , K 4) = 14.

Wheel and star-critical Ramsey numbers for quadrilateral

The star-critical Ramsey number r∗(H1,H2) is the smallest integer k such that every red/blue coloring of the edges of Kn −K1,n−k−1 contains either a red copy of H1 or a blue copy of H2, where n is the graph Ramsey number R(H1,H2). We study the cases of r∗(C4, Cn) and R(C4,Wn). In particular, we prove that r∗(C4, Cn) = 5 for all n > 4, obtain a general characterization of Ramsey-critical (C4,Wn)...

The value of the Ramsey number R(Cn, K4) is 3(n-1)+1 (n≥4)

The Ramsey number R(Cn, Km) is the smallest integer p such that any graph G on p vertices either contains a cycle Cn with length n or contains an independent set with order m. In this paper we prove that R(Cn , K 4 ) = 3(n 1) + 1 (n ~ 4). We shall only consider graphs without multiple edges or loops. The Ramsey number R(Cn,Km) is the smallest integer p such that any graph G on p vertices either...

Ramsey unsaturated and saturated graphs

A graph is Ramsey unsaturated if there exists a proper supergraph of the same order with the same Ramsey number, and Ramsey saturated otherwise. We present some conjectures and results concerning both Ramsey saturated and unsaturated graphs. In particular, we show that cycles Cn and paths Pn on n vertices are Ramsey unsaturated for all n ≥ 5. 1 Results and Conjectures Throughout this article, r...

On the Existence of Specified Cycles in Complementary Graphs

I t is well known that in any gathering of six people, there are three people who are mutual acquaintances or three people who are mutual strangers. This statement has the graph-theoretic formulation that for any graph G of order 6, either G or its complement G has a triangle. Furthermore, this statement is not true in general if "six" is replaced by a smaller integer. The Ramsey number r{m,ri)...

Star-Avoiding Ramsey Numbers

The graph Ramsey number R(G,H) is the smallest integer n such that every 2-coloring of the edges of Kn contains either a red copy of G or a blue copy of H . We find the largest star that can be removed from Kn such that the underlying graph is still forced to have a red G or a blue H . Thus, we introduce the star-avoiding Ramsey number r∗(G,H) as the smallest integer k such that every 2-colorin...
