Let R(G) denote the minimum integer N such that for every bicoloring of the edges of KN, at least one of the monochromatic subgraphs contains G as a subgraph. We show that for every positive integer d and each γ,0 < γ < 1, there exists k = k(d,γ) such that for every bipartite graph G = (W,U;E) with the maximum degree of vertices in W at most d and $|U|\leq |W|^{\gamma }$, $R(G)\leq k|W|$. This answers a question of Trotter. We give also a weaker bound on the Ramsey numbers of graphs whose set…

It is shown that, for every , sufficiently large n, and any graph H of order , either H or its complement contains a (d,n)-common graph, that is, a graph in which every set of d vertices has at least n common neighbours.

In this paper, the use of the regularity lemma is avoided altogether, and it is shown that one can in fact take, for some ®xed c, c  < 2 (log )2 in the general case, and even even 1.

It is proved that, for any fixed bipartite graph H in which all degrees in one colour class are at most r, the Turán number is the maximum possible number of edges in a simple graph on n vertices that contains no copy of H.

Three Ramsey-type results are presented, which derive from a simple and yet powerful lemma, proved using probabilistic arguments and solve some special cases of a closely related question posed by Erdős.

The main ingredient in the proof, which might be of independent interest, is an estimate on the order of the largest clique subdivision which one can find in every graph on n vertices with independence number α.

This work significantly improves on the Ackermann‐type upper bound that arises from the regularity proofs, and presents a construction which shows that, at least in certain cases, this bound is not far from best possible.

For a positive integer r and graphs F , G, and H, the graph Ramsey arrow notation F −→ (G)r means that for every r-colouring of the subgraphs of F isomorphic to H, there exists a subgraph G′ of F
