Chvátal, Rödl, Szemerédi and Trotter [3] proved that the Ramsey numbers of graphs of bounded maximum degree are linear in their order. In [6, 23] the same result was proved for 3-uniform hypergraphs. Here we extend this result to k-uniform hypergraphs for any integer k ≥ 3. As in the 3-uniform case, the main new tool which we prove and use is an embedding lemma for k-uniform hypergraphs of boun...
