Ramsey theory

open access: yes, 2022
AbstractRamsey theory is a branch of combinatorics that asks questions of the form: How large must a set be so that if it is divided into subsets, at least one subset has a certain property? Results in Ramsey theory are difficult to prove and there remain many open problems.

Star-Critical Ramsey Numbers for Cycles Versus K4

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2021
Given three graphs G, H and K we write K → (G, H), if in any red/blue coloring of the edges of K there exists a red copy of G or a blue copy of H. The Ramsey number r(G, H) is defined as the smallest natural number n such that Kn → (G, H) and the star ...

Ultraproducts and Related Constructions

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In this work, we survey some research directions in which the ultraproduct construction and methods based on ultrafilters play significant roles. Rather different areas of mathematics have been considered: topics we are reviewing here include some ...

A strict upper bound for size multipartite Ramsey numbers of paths versus stars

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Combinatorics, 2017
Let $P_n$ represent the path of size $n$. Let $K_{1,m-1}$ represent a star of size $m$ and be denoted by $S_{m}$. Given a two coloring of the edges of a complete graph $K_{j \times s}$ we say that $K_{j \times s}\rightarrow (P_n,S_{m+1})$ if there is a ...

Size multipartite Ramsey numbers for stripes versus small cycles

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications, 2016
For simple graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the size Ramsey multipartite number $m_j(G_1, G_2)$ is defined as the smallest natural number $s$ such that any arbitrary two coloring of the graph $K_{j \times s}$ using the colors red and blue, contains a red $G_1$ or

A Coloring Problem for Sturmian and Episturmian Words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We consider the following open question in the spirit of Ramsey theory: Given an aperiodic infinite word $w$, does there exist a finite coloring of its factors such that no factorization of $w$ is monochromatic? We show that such a coloring always exists

Banach spaces and Ramsey Theory: some open problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We discuss some open problems in the Geometry of Banach spaces having Ramsey-theoretic flavor. The problems are exposed together with well known results related to them.Comment: 17 pages, no figures; RACSAM, to ...

Anti-Ramsey theory on complete bipartite graphs

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2020
We consider quadruples of positive integers with and such that every proper edge-coloring of the complete bipartite graph contains a rainbow subgraph. We show that every such quadruple with and satisfies this property and find an infinite sequence where ...

Rainbow Ramsey Theory

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents an overview of the current state in research directions in the rainbow Ramsey theory. We list results, problems, and conjectures related to existence of rainbow arithmetic progressions in [n] and N. A general perspective on other rainbow Ramsey type problems is given.

Ramsey Theory Applications

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2004
There are many interesting applications of Ramsey theory, these include results in number theory, algebra, geometry, topology, set theory, logic, ergodic theory, information theory and theoretical computer science. Relations of Ramsey-type theorems to various fields in mathematics are well documented in published books and monographs.
