A General Lower Bound on Gallai-Ramsey Numbers for Non-Bipartite Graphs

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $k$, the $k$-color Gallai-Ramsey number $gr_{k}(K_{3} : H)$ is defined to be the minimum number of vertices $n$ for which any $k$-coloring of the complete graph $K_{n}$ contains either a rainbow triangle or a monochromatic copy of $H$. The behavior of these numbers is rather well understood when $H$ is bipartite but when $H$ is not bipartite, this behavior is a bit more complicated. In this short note, we improve upon existing lower bounds for non-bipartite graphs $H$ to a value that we conjecture to be sharp up to a constant multiple

Density of Gallai Multigraphs

Diwan and Mubayi asked how many edges of each color could be included in a 33-edge-colored multigraph containing no rainbow triangle. We answer this question under the modest assumption that the multigraphs in question contain at least one edge between every pair of vertices. We also conjecture that this assumption is, in fact, without loss of generality

Colored complete hypergraphs containing no rainbow Berge triangles

The study of graph Ramsey numbers within restricted colorings, in particular forbidding a rainbow triangle, has recently been blossoming under the name Gallai-Ramsey numbers. In this work, we extend the main structural tool from rainbow triangle free colorings of complete graphs to rainbow Berge triangle free colorings of hypergraphs. In doing so, some other concepts and results are also translated from graphs to hypergraphs

Independence Number and Disjoint Theta Graphs

The goal of this paper is to find vertex disjoint even cycles in graphs. For this purpose, define a θ-graph to be a pair of vertices u,v with three internally disjoint paths joining u to v. Given an independence number α and a fixed integer k, the results contained in this paper provide sharp bounds on the order f(k,α) of a graph with independence number α(G)≤α which contains no k disjoint θ-graphs. Since every θ-graph contains an even cycle, these results provide k disjoint even cycles in graphs of order at least f(k,α)+1. We also discuss the relationship between this problem and a generalized ramsey problem involving sets of graphs

Properly Colored Notions of Connectivity - A Dynamic Survey

Sheehan conjectured in 1975 that every Hamiltonian regular simple graph of even degree at least four contains a second Hamiltonian cycle. We prove that most claw-free Hamiltonian graphs with minimum degree at least 3 have a second Hamiltonian cycle and describe the structure of those graphs not covered by our result. By this result, we show that Sheehan’s conjecture holds for claw-free graphs whose order is not divisible by 6. In addition, we believe that the structure that we introduce can be useful for further studies on claw-free graphs
