For given graphs G and H, the Ramsey number R(G, H) is the least natural number n such that for every graph F of order n the following condition holds: either F contains G or the complement of F contains H. In this paper, we improve the Surahmat and Tomescu’s result [9] on the Ramsey number of paths versus Jahangirs. We also determine the Ramsey number R(∪G, H), where G is a path and H is a Jah...

We consider a hypergraph generalization of a conjecture of Burr and Erdős concerning the Ramsey number of graphs with bounded degree. It was shown by Chvátal, Rödl, Trotter, and Szemerédi [The Ramsey number of a graph with bounded maximum degree, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 34 (1983), no. 3, 239–243] that the Ramsey number R(G) of a graph G of bounded maximum degree is linear in |V (G)|. We derive...

The notion of a graph theoretic Ramsey number is generalised by assuming that both the original graph whose edges are arbitrarily bi–coloured and the sought after monochromatic subgraphs are complete, balanced, multipartite graphs, instead of complete graphs as in the classical definition. We previously confined our attention to diagonal multipartite Ramsey numbers. In this paper the definition...

An elementary probabilistic argument is presented which shows that for every forest F other than a matching, and every graph G containing a cycle, there exists an infinite number of graphs J such that J → (F,G) but if we delete from J any edge e the graph J − e obtained in this way does not have this property. Introduction. All graphs in this note are undirected graphs, without loops and multip...

We assume that the reader is familiar with standard graph-theoretic terminology and refer the readers to Bondy and Murty (2008) for any concept and notation that is not defined here. In this paper, we consider simple, undirected graphs. Given two graphsG andH , the Ramsey numberR(G,H) is the smallest integer n such that every graph F on n vertices contains a copy of G, or its complement F conta...

Given two graphs G1 and G2, the planar Ramsey number PR(G1, G2) is the smallest integer n such that every planar graph on n vertices either contains a copy of G1 or its complement contains a copy of G2. So far, the planar Ramsey numbers have been determined, when both, G1 and G2 are complete graphs or both are cycles. By combining computer search with some theoretical results, in this paper we ...

The size-Ramsey number of a graph G is the smallest number of edges in a graph Γ with the Ramsey property for G, that is, with the property that any colouring of the edges of Γ with two colours (say) contains a monochromatic copy of G. The study of size-Ramsey numbers was proposed by Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp in 1978, when they investigated the size-Ramsey number of certain classes o...
