Chromatic number of Euclidean plane

If the chromatic number of Euclidean plane is larger than four, but it is known that the chromatic number of planar graphs is equal to four, then how does one explain it? In my opinion, they are contradictory to each other. This idea leads to confirm the chromatic number of the plane about its exact value

Chromatic Ramsey number of acyclic hypergraphs

Suppose that $T$ is an acyclic $r$-uniform hypergraph, with $r\ge 2$. We define the ($t$-color) chromatic Ramsey number $\chi(T,t)$ as the smallest $m$ with the following property: if the edges of any $m$-chromatic $r$-uniform hypergraph are colored with $t$ colors in any manner, there is a monochromatic copy of $T$. We observe that $\chi(T,t)$ is well defined and $$\left\lceil {R^r(T,t)-1\over r-1}\right \rceil +1 \le \chi(T,t)\le |E(T)|^t+1$$ where $R^r(T,t)$ is the $t$-color Ramsey number of $H$. We give linear upper bounds for $\chi(T,t)$ when T is a matching or star, proving that for $r\ge 2, k\ge 1, t\ge 1$, $\chi(M_k^r,t)\le (t-1)(k-1)+2k$ and $\chi(S_k^r,t)\le t(k-1)+2$ where $M_k^r$ and $S_k^r$ are, respectively, the $r$-uniform matching and star with $k$ edges. The general bounds are improved for $3$-uniform hypergraphs. We prove that $\chi(M_k^3,2)=2k$, extending a special case of Alon-Frankl-Lov\'asz' theorem. We also prove that $\chi(S_2^3,t)\le t+1$, which is sharp for $t=2,3$. This is a corollary of a more general result. We define $H^{[1]}$ as the 1-intersection graph of $H$, whose vertices represent hyperedges and whose edges represent intersections of hyperedges in exactly one vertex. We prove that $\chi(H)\le \chi(H^{[1]})$ for any $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ (assuming $\chi(H^{[1]})\ge 2$). The proof uses the list coloring version of Brooks' theorem.Comment: 10 page

Ramsey numbers of ordered graphs

An ordered graph is a pair $\mathcal{G}=(G,\prec)$ where $G$ is a graph and $\prec$ is a total ordering of its vertices. The ordered Ramsey number $\overline{R}(\mathcal{G})$ is the minimum number $N$ such that every ordered complete graph with $N$ vertices and with edges colored by two colors contains a monochromatic copy of $\mathcal{G}$. In contrast with the case of unordered graphs, we show that there are arbitrarily large ordered matchings $\mathcal{M}_n$ on $n$ vertices for which $\overline{R}(\mathcal{M}_n)$ is superpolynomial in $n$. This implies that ordered Ramsey numbers of the same graph can grow superpolynomially in the size of the graph in one ordering and remain linear in another ordering. We also prove that the ordered Ramsey number $\overline{R}(\mathcal{G})$ is polynomial in the number of vertices of $\mathcal{G}$ if the bandwidth of $\mathcal{G}$ is constant or if $\mathcal{G}$ is an ordered graph of constant degeneracy and constant interval chromatic number. The first result gives a positive answer to a question of Conlon, Fox, Lee, and Sudakov. For a few special classes of ordered paths, stars or matchings, we give asymptotically tight bounds on their ordered Ramsey numbers. For so-called monotone cycles we compute their ordered Ramsey numbers exactly. This result implies exact formulas for geometric Ramsey numbers of cycles introduced by K\'arolyi, Pach, T\'oth, and Valtr.Comment: 29 pages, 13 figures, to appear in Electronic Journal of Combinatoric
