Star-path and star-stripe bipartite Ramsey numbers in multicoloring
Abstract
For given bipartite graphs G 1 ,G 2 ,…,G t , the bipartite Ramsey number bR(G 1 ,G 2 ,…,G t ) is the smallest integer n such that if the edges of the complete bipartite graph K n,n are partitioned into t disjoint color classes giving t graphs H 1 ,H 2 ,…,H t , then at least one H i has a subgraph isomorphic to G i . In this paper, we study the multicolor bipartite Ramsey number bR(G 1 ,G 2 ,…,G t ) , in the case that G 1 ,G 2 ,…,G t being either stars and stripes or stars and a path.
