EGZ-generalizations for linear equations and linear inequalities in three variables
For a Diophantine system of equalities or inequalities in variables, , we denote by the classical \emph{-color Rado number}, that is, is the smallest integer, if it exist, such that for every -coloring of there exist a monochromatic solution of . In 2003 Bialostocki, Bialostocki and Schaal studied the related parameter, , defined as the smallest integer, if it exist, such that for every -coloring of there exist a zero-sum solution of ; in view of the Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem, the authors state that the system admits an EGZ-generalization if . In this work we we prove that any linear inequality on three variables,
where with , admits an EGZ-generalization except in the cases where there is no positive solution of the inequality. More over, we determine the corresponding -color Rado numbers depending on the coefficients of . This is joint work with Amanda Montejano.Non UBCUnreviewedAuthor affiliation: CONACyT/UAZFacult
