Two color off-diagonal Rado-type numbers.
In the first part of the paper we are concerned about finite sequences (over arbitrary symbols) for which . The function measures the maximum length of finite sequences over symbols which contain no subsequence of the type . It follows from the result of Hart and Sharir that the containment is a (minimal) obstacle to . We show by means of a construction due to Sharir and Wiernik that there is another obstacle to the linear growth. In the second part of the paper we investigate whether...
Given a graph H and an integer r ≥ 2, let G → (H,r) denote the Ramsey property of a graph G, that is, every r-coloring of the edges of G results in a monochromatic copy of H. Further, let and define the Ramsey density as the infimum of m(G) over all graphs G such that G → (H,r). In the first part of this paper we show that when H is a complete graph Kₖ on k vertices, then , where R = R(k;r) is the classical Ramsey number. As a corollary we derive a new proof of the result credited to Chvatál...
