    Let G1G_1 and G2G_2 be two given graphs. The Ramsey number R(G1,G2)R(G_1,G_2) is the least integer rr such that for every graph GG on rr vertices, either GG contains a G1G_1 or G‾\overline{G} contains a G2G_2. Parsons gave a recursive formula to determine the values of R(Pn,K1,m)R(P_n,K_{1,m}), where PnP_n is a path on nn vertices and K1,mK_{1,m} is a star on m+1m+1 vertices. In this note, we first give an explicit formula for the path-star Ramsey numbers. Secondly, we study the Ramsey numbers R(Pn,K1∨Fm)R(P_n,K_1\vee F_m), where FmF_m is a linear forest on mm vertices. We determine the exact values of R(Pn,K1∨Fm)R(P_n,K_1\vee F_m) for the cases m≤nm\leq n and m≥2nm\geq 2n, and for the case that FmF_m has no odd component. Moreover, we give a lower bound and an upper bound for the case n+1≤m≤2n−1n+1\leq m\leq 2n-1 and FmF_m has at least one odd component.Comment: 7 page

    Some Known Results and an Open Problem of Tree - Wheel Graph Ramsey Numbers

    There are many famous problems on finding a regular substructure in a sufficiently large combinatorial structure, one of them i.e. Ramsey numbers. In this paper we list some known results and an open problem on graph Ramsey numbers. In the special cases, we list to determine graph Ramsey numbers for trees versus wheel
