Infinite paths and cliques in random graphs

Alessandro Berarducci, Pietro Majer, Matteo Novaga (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the thresholds for the emergence of various properties in random subgraphs of (ℕ, <). In particular, we give sharp sufficient conditions for the existence of (finite or infinite) cliques and paths in a random subgraph. No specific assumption on the probability is made. The main tools are a topological version of Ramsey theory, exchangeability theory and elementary ergodic theory.

k -Ramsey classes and dimensions of graphs

Jan Kratochvíl (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this note, we introduce the notion of k -Ramsey classes of graphs and we reveal connections to intersection dimensions of graphs.

Minimal reducible bounds for hom-properties of graphs

Amelie Berger, Izak Broere (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let H be a fixed finite graph and let → H be a hom-property, i.e. the set of all graphs admitting a homomorphism into H. We extend the definition of → H to include certain infinite graphs H and then describe the minimal reducible bounds for → H in the lattice of additive hereditary properties and in the lattice of hereditary properties.

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for paths and cycles

Tomasz Dzido (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For given graphs G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ, k ≥ 2, the multicolor Ramsey number R(G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ) is the smallest integer n such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of the complete graph on n vertices with k colors, then it is always a monochromatic copy of some G i , for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. We give a lower bound for k-color Ramsey number R(Cₘ,Cₘ,...,Cₘ), where m ≥ 8 is even and Cₘ is the cycle on m vertices. In addition, we provide exact values for Ramsey numbers R(P₃,Cₘ,Cₚ), where P₃ is the path on 3 vertices, and several...

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for some paths and cycles

Halina Bielak (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We give the multicolor Ramsey number for some graphs with a path or a cycle in the given sequence, generalizing a results of Faudree and Schelp [4], and Dzido, Kubale and Piwakowski [2,3].

New Upper Bound for the Edge Folkman Number Fe(3,5;13)

Kolev, Nikolay (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C55.For a given graph G let V(G) and E(G) denote the vertex and the edge set of G respevtively. The symbol G e → (a1, …, ar) means that in every r-coloring of E(G) there exists a monochromatic ai-clique of color i for some i ∈ {1,…,r}. The edge Folkman numbers are defined by the equality Fe(a1, …, ar; q) = min{|V(G)| : G e → (a1, …, ar; q) and cl(G) < q}. In this paper we prove a new upper bound on the edge Folkman number Fe(3,5;13), namely Fe(3,5;13)...

On 1-dependent ramsey numbers for graphs

E.J. Cockayne, C.M. Mynhardt (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A set X of vertices of a graph G is said to be 1-dependent if the subgraph of G induced by X has maximum degree one. The 1-dependent Ramsey number t₁(l,m) is the smallest integer n such that for any 2-edge colouring (R,B) of Kₙ, the spanning subgraph B of Kₙ has a 1-dependent set of size l or the subgraph R has a 1-dependent set of size m. The 2-edge colouring (R,B) is a t₁(l,m) Ramsey colouring of Kₙ if B (R, respectively) does not contain a 1-dependent set of size l (m, respectively); in this...

On a Class of Vertex Folkman Numbers

Nenov, Nedyalko (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Let a1 , . . . , ar, be positive integers, i=1 ... r, m = ∑(ai − 1) + 1 and p = max{a1 , . . . , ar }. For a graph G the symbol G → (a1 , . . . , ar ) means that in every r-coloring of the vertices of G there exists a monochromatic ai -clique of color i for some i ∈ {1, . . . , r}. In this paper we consider the vertex Folkman numbers F (a1 , . . . , ar ; m − 1) = min |V (G)| : G → (a1 , . . . , ar ) and Km−1 ⊂ G} We prove that F (a1 , . . . , ar ; m − 1) = m + 6, if p = 3 and m ≧ 6 (Theorem 3)...

On dual Ramsey theorems for relational structures

Dragan Mašulović (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We discuss dual Ramsey statements for several classes of finite relational structures (such as finite linearly ordered graphs, finite linearly ordered metric spaces and finite posets with a linear extension) and conclude the paper with another rendering of the Nešetřil-Rödl Theorem for relational structures. Instead of embeddings which are crucial for ``direct'' Ramsey results, for each class of structures under consideration we propose a special class of quotient maps and prove a dual Ramsey theorem...

On Monochromatic Subgraphs of Edge-Colored Complete Graphs

Eric Andrews, Futaba Fujie, Kyle Kolasinski, Chira Lumduanhom, Adam Yusko (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In a red-blue coloring of a nonempty graph, every edge is colored red or blue. If the resulting edge-colored graph contains a nonempty subgraph G without isolated vertices every edge of which is colored the same, then G is said to be monochromatic. For two nonempty graphs G and H without isolated vertices, the mono- chromatic Ramsey number mr(G,H) of G and H is the minimum integer n such that every red-blue coloring of Kn results in a monochromatic G or a monochromatic H. Thus, the standard Ramsey...
