Gyarfas conjectured that in every r -edge-coloring of the complete graph K n there is a monochromatic component on at least n ∕ ( r − 1 ) vertices which has diameter at most 3. We show that for r = 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 a diameter of 3 is best possible in this conjecture, constructing colorings where every monochromatic diameter-2 subgraph has strictly less than n ∕ ( r − 1 ) vertices.

Large monochromatic components of small diameter
TLDR
This note improves the result in the case of r = 3 and shows that in every 3-edge-coloring of Kn either there is a monochromatic component of diameter at most three on at least n/2 vertices or every color class is spanning and has diameter at least four.

Finding Large p-Colored Diameter Two Subgraphs
TLDR
It is shown for k≥1 and k\2≤p≤k that there is always a p-colored diameter two subgraph of Kn containing at least vertices and that this is best possible up to an additive constant l satisfying 0≤l.

Large Monochromatic Triple Stars in Edge Colourings
TLDR
It is proved that for every r-edge-colouring of Kn there is a monochromatic triple star of order at least n/r-1, improving Ruszinko's result 2012.
