约束Ramsey数

Constrained Ramsey Numbers

Po-Shen Loh, Benny Sudakov

摘要:

对于两个图S和T,约束Ramsey数f(S,T)是最小的n,使得n个顶点上的完全图的任意颜色数的边染色都有一个与S同构的单色子图或一个与T同构的彩虹子图(所有边的颜色不同). Erdos-Rado正则Ramsey定理暗示f(S,T)存在当且仅当S是星或T是无圈的,并且已经做了很多工作来确定f(S,T)对各种类型参数的增长率。当S和T都是分别有s和t条边的树时,Jamison,Jiang,and Ling证明了f(S,T)<= O(st^2),并证明了它总是至多O(st)。本文研究了T是一条路的情形,证明了f(S,P_t)= O(st log t),这与猜想仅相差一个对数因子。这实质上改进了大多数s和t值的先前边界。

英文摘要:

For two graphs S and T, the constrained Ramsey number f(S, T) is the minimum n such that every edge coloring of the complete graph on n vertices, with any number of colors, has a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to S or a rainbow (all edges differently colored) subgraph isomorphic to T. The Erdos-Rado Canonical Ramsey Theorem implies that f(S, T) exists if and only if S is a star or T is acyclic, and much work has been done to determine the rate of growth of f(S, T) for various types of parameters. When S and T are both trees having s and t edges respectively, Jamison, Jiang, and Ling showed that f(S, T) <= O(st^2) and conjectured that it is always at most O(st). They also mentioned that one of the most interesting open special cases is when T is a path. In this work, we study this case and show that f(S, P_t) = O(st log t), which differs only by a logarithmic factor from the conjecture. This substantially improves the previous bounds for most values of s and t.
