    In 1930, Frank Plumpton Ramsey has introduced Ramsey's theory, in his paper titled On a Problem of Formal Logic. This study became morepopular since Erdős and Szekeres applied Ramsey's theory to graph theory. Suppose given the graph F, G and H. The notation F → (G, H)  states thatfor any red-blue coloring of the edges of F implies F containing a red subgraph of G or a blue subgraph of H. The graph F is said to be the Ramsey graph for graph G versus H (pair G and H) if F → (G, H). Graph F is called Ramsey minimal graph for G versus H if  first, F → (G, H) and second, F satisfies the minimality property i.e. for each e ∈ E (F), then F-e ↛ (G, H). The class of all Ramsey (G, H) minimal graphs is denoted by (G, H). The class (G, H) is called Ramsey infinite or finite if  (G, H) is infinite or finite, respectively. The study about Ramsey minimal graph is still continuously being developed and examined, although in general it is not easy to characterize or determine the graphs included in the (G, H), especially if  (G, H) is an infinite Ramsey class. The characterization of graphs in (, ) has been obtained. However, the characterization of graphs in (, ), for every 3 ≤ m < n is still open. In this article, we will determine some infinite classes of Ramsey minimal graphs  for paths  versus .

    Directed Ramsey number for trees

    In this paper, we study Ramsey-type problems for directed graphs. We first consider the kk-colour oriented Ramsey number of HH, denoted by R(H,k)\overrightarrow{R}(H,k), which is the least nn for which every kk-edge-coloured tournament on nn vertices contains a monochromatic copy of HH. We prove that R(T,k)ckTk \overrightarrow{R}(T,k) \le c_k|T|^k for any oriented tree TT. This is a generalisation of a similar result for directed paths by Chv\'atal and by Gy\'arf\'as and Lehel, and answers a question of Yuster. In general, it is tight up to a constant factor. We also consider the kk-colour directed Ramsey number R(H,k)\overleftrightarrow{R}(H,k) of HH, which is defined as above, but, instead of colouring tournaments, we colour the complete directed graph of order nn. Here we show that R(T,k)ckTk1 \overleftrightarrow{R}(T,k) \le c_k|T|^{k-1} for any oriented tree TT, which is again tight up to a constant factor, and it generalises a result by Williamson and by Gy\'arf\'as and Lehel who determined the 22-colour directed Ramsey number of directed paths.Comment: 27 pages, 14 figure

    Ramsey numbers of ordered graphs

    An ordered graph is a pair G=(G,)\mathcal{G}=(G,\prec) where GG is a graph and \prec is a total ordering of its vertices. The ordered Ramsey number R(G)\overline{R}(\mathcal{G}) is the minimum number NN such that every ordered complete graph with NN vertices and with edges colored by two colors contains a monochromatic copy of G\mathcal{G}. In contrast with the case of unordered graphs, we show that there are arbitrarily large ordered matchings Mn\mathcal{M}_n on nn vertices for which R(Mn)\overline{R}(\mathcal{M}_n) is superpolynomial in nn. 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 R(G)\overline{R}(\mathcal{G}) is polynomial in the number of vertices of G\mathcal{G} if the bandwidth of G\mathcal{G} is constant or if G\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

    The random graph

    Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi showed the paradoxical result that there is a unique (and highly symmetric) countably infinite random graph. This graph, and its automorphism group, form the subject of the present survey.Comment: Revised chapter for new edition of book "The Mathematics of Paul Erd\H{o}s
